Are you satisfied with flex wing handling qualities?

Dan Lukaszewicz - 2016/08/23 04:46:20 UTC

I also think it's important to practice using secondary releases occasionally so you remember it's an option when under pressure. I use my secondary release about every third flight or so. Just don't hit the primary release after already releasing with the secondary or you will be shopping for a new tow bridle.

Edit - See post below.

There's no huge bureaucracy out there screwing you over. It's just me, and a few other volunteers like me, and our staff, and our attorney.

Got it. Well stated. I have been remiss and will modify my procedures so I lift and tug within 2 seconds of launching. Will include in any future flight videos. Future videos of past flights will not show this.

Unfortunately this is not entirely true.

Perhaps my most favorite Jack Asshole forum quote:

Aerotow mishap

Dave Pendzick - 2016/10/31 16:18:51 UTC

He is lucky that didn't throw off the CG & cause him to stall & spin in.

If he had been unlucky then his CG would have been thrown off. Physics do not apply on Jack Asshole's idiot asylum.

THE GREAT BIG ANGLE OF ATTACK THREAD

A bit off topic... but I've come to realize how POOR hang gliding instruction is... pretty much everywhere.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent...

Jack's using the quote as instruction to the members of his mutual masturbation society for remaining in good standing.

Gold nugget.

Wheels for litestream control bar

entelin - 2016/12/23 18:35:47 UTC

Looking for some wheels for a litestream control bar. 95% of my flying is aerotow, so I mostly want them in case of a weaklink break right off the cart (so rolling on mowed grass).

Good thinking there, entelin.

Instructors don't earn much money and are teaching tremendously valuable skills.
