Bill,

Thanks for posting the videos. A lot of thought has gone into that rig, and some trial 'n error, hopefully not much error.

Good to see the ordinary folks flying HG. As the last vid says, "no Hollywood production". That's fine with me :thumbup:

Awesome.

I was thinking about spooling again after Big Spring. Just north of there one can have many many multi-mile tow lanes.

Flying was awesome this year. Anything less than 50 miles was a sled ride. I scored my first comp goals and first 100 mile flight (118 miles) only to be followed by my second 100 mile flight the following day !!!!

I'm still itching to foot launch in Leaky again.

A little clip from my first day and first comp goal!! I cut of vid after having goal on glide. I was a little stoked when I realized I had it on glide!!!! :srofl:
