LuckyMcSwervy 0 #8 January 15, 2014 I was thinking he needed a new pair of Vans instead of those little thin sneakers he's wearing (probably by Adidas ). Loved his little pool swoop at the end. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #12 January 15, 2014 I'm still considering becoming 'biwingual'. Wish there were hills / mountains around here. http://youtu.be/6BGNI06J7Rg This was a really nice flight and pretty perfect landing my son caught on video.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire 0 #13 January 15, 2014 Nice... that looks like a perfectly good hill to me (.)Y(.) Chivalry is not dead; it only sleeps for want of work to do. - Jerome K Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #14 January 15, 2014 That was in the States. The 'hill' is called Lookout Mountain. It is part of the Appalachian Mountains south of the Great Smoky Mountains. Even those don't compare to the Rocky Mountains out West. Not sure what the real definition of a mountain is. The launch there is 1340' above the LZ. My lamentation is that I am in Belgium...nothing to launch from. I have to go to an airfield an hour away to be towed up by a Dragonfly ultralight. Ah well. The things we do for love.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

shropshire 0 #16 January 15, 2014 I have a similar problem .. I live in East Anglia.. (flat as a pancake).. we do have a little coast soaring (not sure a Hangie could do must here .. too low, I'd think). We don't need much on a PG.. just a good breeze and a low ridge will get us airbourne for a while... I love a coastal run All the best, Tony (.)Y(.)

And just for confusion, "Lookout Mt" is also the name of the mountain on the West edge of Golden CO, and it *does* have a hang-glider/paraglider launch. In the attached image, look for the white spot in a patch of blue in the upper left corner. That is the windsock at the launch point. They launch just a short hike above the road.
