========================================= Recent pilot posting over 500 posts in sg space was signed off with an H1 HG rating. Steve Wendt, and Billy B. Vaughn may have been part of Doug's HG instruction sphere, among others. Tell all, Doug! He has suggested that there be an independent hang gliding rating system (there are several such systems already). Doug, what have you in mind? ========================================= Doug has published some controversial statements; those statements may be presented herein for discussion by anyone. He posts in several forums. Davis', sg's, Doug just passed his second year joining sg's post runs. Jan 19, 2016, was his start there; he will have posted over 550 messages soon.
Doug, do your notes recognize that the TCF (triangle control frame) cable stayed was in sport hang gliding on a battened flexible wing hang glider at a sport hang glider meet in 1908. And in that decade at another sport hang glider meet there was another distinct hang glider with the TCF cable stayed?
Doug, do your notes recognize that Otto Lilienthal set up formal duplication of his hang glider; and that one was purchased by a U.S. citizen? HG manufacturing was fully evident for others from Otto Lilienthal. ========================================= Doug has noted that hang glider pilots may fly hang gliders without a rating and be in harmony with the F.A.A. ======================================== Some HG matter is presented on Doug's FB page. ======================================== Part of Doug's HG universe includes a post about this very sector U.S. Hang Gliding Pilots made at Davis' space today; here is a screen print mentioning an invitation to others and to Doug specifically as an example:
