Hi everyone! I'm wanting to get into hang gliding and I'm wondering where to start. I live in Kansas City, and as far as I can tell, there isn't anywhere close by where I can get introduced to the sport. I know that blindrodie is in Kansas City, is there anyone else?
If you read the "thinking" behind that value you find that the intent is to have it blow WHILE the glider is UNDER CONTROL. WHEN it breaks the glider is - BY DEFINITION - *NOT* UNDER CONTROL because the intent of the Pilot In Command has been overridden and the flight plan has just gone down the toilet.
Thanks. That was a MAJOR lightbulb moment for me. Should've also said something about the angle of attack just having gone way the fuck up for the total morons...
a) only the pilot can let the angle of attack increase when you lose tension. Thats 100% on the pilot. You are simply wrong and misleading again.
b) "And if your angle of attack was way too high to begin with..." Which should never be the case or youre making a pilot error. Again, you are misleading people.
This is the problem I have with you. You attempt to fallaciously attribute pilot errors to issues of mechanical towing devices or other things.
Sorry... but if you suddenly lose power, your nose just doesnt pop
...incapable of getting and/or refusing to get that concept.
Developing the hook-in check habit is good, too but we often are concerned with a lot of other stuff as we approach launch and we sometimes forget. Better to start off correct than necessitate catching an error.
