Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

Rick,

You and your wife should come and visit sometime - maybe the Spring Air Festival - usually in April or May. You can then see me demonstrate how NOT to land.

First, thanks for posting. I did notice two things - one, the student pilot had their hands up high instead of lowering them or letting the downtubes slide up through the hands as the glider started to lift. Second, it looks like in at least some of the flights the student was landing down hill - if...

OP wrote:You're right. Maybe I should step back down to PVC and burlap fabric. That entire aluminum/dacron deal is just too fragile.

Heck - you should consider going back to bamboo and bedsheets.

Don, I think you have the definitions of spending and cutting mixed up. If your kids spend more, you have less, but if you cut their allowance you have more. Politicians are like kids without the maturity nor common sense. Since I don't have kids there is nothing to cut and that explains why I don'...

I think it is great that you and Chip are offering to do all this work.

I personally would have NO use or interest in this service availability at this time.

So you see Don you need to spend money to make money. This sounds like the logic the politians (Republicans mostly) use to justify tax cuts. Cut taxes and the money will pour in! I personally have tried this numerous times. I spend money and expect my wallet will soon be refilled and over flowing w...

By all means - let's spend more money!

Doug, It is the "Big 4" accounting firms. The 5th "disappeared" years ago. :o As for Board Meetings - haven't been to one yet - and I see no reason to attend the next four, any of the next 12, or any ever! Jim (Board Members and others that contributed towards the project) - I fu...

They saw how we handle our money and decided to give it to the elk. Bye the way Don, do you know what the split was on material/labor for the gazebo foundation? In the real world it's 45/55 and the way the economy is, it could have been 50/50. No I don't know the split. I always thought SHGA would ...

Rome,

I thought you were going to leave that $500k to SHGA?

Great Day - except the last 1 or 2 seconds!

Eat Mushrooms?

How about we smoke some mushrooms !

Ahhhhh the good old days.

Just curious if anyone has thought about the Club banning race wires?

I presume you would prefer something metal/water proof?

I have a decent looking wood cabinet - maybe I'll bring it next time I'm driving the truck and you can look at it.

... I appreciate the bribing thing but I cannot bring myself give club perks for personal gain. Perhaps I would mow the lawn for you? First - I guess I might as well stop bringing potato chips if it isn't going to do me any good. :wink: On a more serious note - it's nice to know that you have integ...

Maybe I was misunderstood :? I in no way wanted to imply that I felt that the fee paid to the Storage Box Guru (currently Jay) was excessive or an unnecessary expense. I just wanted to "correct" Jay's "typo" that could have been misunderstood to mean that the position was strickl...

With all due respect for the effective work you have made the last few years - It is my understanding that the position of Glider Storage Guru is NOT a volunteer position. The GURU receives a percentage of the gross income.

I have a Litesport if you want to try flying something else!
