I have something that I want to talk to John about. Well, there is this one thing, among numerous other subjects that I want to inquire about I want to hear what John has to say about the possibillity of Short - Packing My Predator. I mean Who would be better to ask? I have done My share while Flying Cross Country, that I had to Cross long stretches of No - Mans Land Because The Cloud Street up in the Sky Dictated My Route. I never had to Land - Out because I sunk Out Miles from the Nearest road. But the Way, I saw it. It was only a Matter of when, on which XC Flight, that I would have to Hike My Predator a Mile, or Two, or Ten in order to get to the nearest Road. I MEAN conditions are a variable. One that none of us can truly Predict. Granted the Predator Due to the Work that John and Dick-C dd in developing the Predator far exceeded Their expectations.
So possibly with the possibility pf being able to Short - Pack My Predator I could be Flying an XC route over the High Desert of Nevada. I could be Flying getting Low. But when I was so low that I needed to scan around for determining the Wind Direction, thinking about where I would land My Predator. The Thought of My having to Pack My Predator say Five Miles to the nearest road, would not seem so Daunting.
MESSAGE FOR JOHN: John, I have had so much time to think about Flying since I Pounded. But as I continue to get closer and Closer to being a Hundred Percent Recovered. I think that it will not be that I Weigh Less than Two Hundred Pounds. It will be How much less than Two Hundred Pounds that I will Weigh.
John as You know, I have Flown My 158 Predator while Hooking in at 340 Pounds. You will need to bring Me Up to Speed, give Me Some Idea as to how My Predator will feel while I am Flying.
NEW EXPERIENCES: Flying My now {STIFF GLIDER| It is going to be some kind of an experience. I never imagined that I would ever be {Lite] on My Predator
