We want to positively land well. Fly some model gliders at home and think through the launching and the landing. Move what you might as you see the glider launch and land. Tweek the glider so that the landings are neat. Review videos of hang glider landings. Repeat ... repeat these things.

Joe regarding My abillity to land a Glider. I always could land Quite Well, Thank You. I do not know You. I doubt that You have ever seeen Me Land. But if You are curious as to what other Pilots say about My Landings, why don't You ask John Heiney, I bet that You know John.

Ok look, I flew Hang Gliders since 1990. Ebverything went Fine. Then on March 28th 2010, I had a very bad Day.

Ok all the electronics that I flew with a Vario that mounted on My Base Tube. When I Pounded Firemen stopped by the Field where I pounded. Well they to the best of their abilities slowed. Needles to say, the way My Predator was not Packed up very Well. The Predator is missing It's semi symmetrical Battens. But all in all everything is OK. I Mean Heck I was out of vomidion.Those Firemen tried to Help. This is something that I should already have a handle on. Ford anyone know where I could Procure a paper Sectional Map?

I a just, well reLy I am. Really tripping out on the Premise that vI actually might Fly a HG again. But I am using My thoughts of Flying again to motivate Me to do what I cM to improve My Body. I am doing Situps. I try to Walk+Jog as much as I can
Look most of You do not know Me or how well I Flew. But as a Pilot: "I could hold My Own). I know that I say did a little bit of. But being that I am now under 200vPounds I believe that My longest Flights have Yet to happen.

I amata lose as to why there are not at least a couple Post Xn?
C Flights that Ooulits used this COOL deal of being able to Short Pack Their Glider upon sinking out and being able to pack their Glider to a road ? Imran come on, this short Pack Deal should be used and enjoyed. What I want to know is: Why is there so little interest? Why?

So it is on Days like Today that I really do wish that My CDL had been reinstated. For I just like all the other HG Pilots that reside here in California. We look up at the Sky and thin? Why am I not up there in this Cummie ladden Sky. I so wish that I could take My Predator up to Mount Diablo, set up, and launch. By looking up at the Sky. Today could very well be a Day when I could Fly further down than I did one Day when the Sky that Day looked like it does Today. I have flown as far as Fresno when I launched from Diablo. I really do believe that now that I being 6' 3" Tall sub two hundred pound just might be able to Fly From Diablo to Bakersfield.
