US Hawks Hang Gliding Association

OK Yes When John Heiney, Joe Spinney and I were up on top of Saint Helena Mountain along with a Helicopter that had just landed. Well we were all standing around talking about what We were about to do. We were going to coordinate our launches with the Helicopter so that the second Guy who would be on the Helicopter doing the Filming of John, Joe, and Me when We would be Flying. The object beast for us to be cautious so as to not sink out, and to make the whole Day to work out. Anyways, the Helicopter launched first. Then I launched My Predator. Both John and Joe knew that if I were to: (SINK OUT), well as Joe said to Me much later. It all worked out fine. Your encountering all that Sinking Air was just because You launched too early. There zi was after the Helicopter had launched I figured: Well Chris it is now or never. Anyways: Zi found Myself Flying My 158 Predator, and Sinking Fast! I remember the Thoughts that were going through My Head. Chris, You are be laid good money for this Flight, $850.00. I was in a Fo or For situation. I started sweating Bullets. I hadn't been no intension of Sinking out. But oh did I get low before I started to Climb. Well after Flying around and around, over and over again, I was up! Ok, let Me just say it. All of Us who are HG Pilots know how it feels to get low when. flying, then get back up. Well today I FELT Exceptionally Well as I got up. All in All We had Food Flights.

Oh Boy will it feel good to be up on some Mountain standing around talking with My Pilot friends waiting to find out Who would launch First. I will not only know that I have attained recovery when My Friends will try to Pimp Me to launch First. For they will want to see how much (Lift) was available on that particular Day. That scenario played out many Times during My Predator Pound Past. Here is a Thought of Mine. I just might end up finding Me a used 142 to Buy. For being under two hundred z pounds, My 158 Predator is a Tad too big.
