Hi Bob, How about the static balance point for the hangglider that you fly?

Sure bob, That would be fine. Are you going to answer my question? By the way,while gangglider wings have clearly been perfected, the hangglider struture has been mostly ignored. The wright brothers studied birds, and found the curvature of their wings enabled them to fly, but nobody has noticed the struture of the bird enables them to be light. No matter how good something is it will always be better.

As far as reverse trikes are concerned , they fishtail, not enough rubber on the ground. Not safe.

Not true.

The car steers electronically from the back wheels.

Ridiculous.

Hi Rick, This reminds me of when I was a kid. Had a cushman motor scooter, two wheels in front one in the back. I could make it fishtail anytime, just hit the throttle and turn hard worked every time. Any experienced biker krows this. Now, as for the electric evette, I have something I call the 10 10 competition. Here it is. I say a conventional car, can't stay within ten feet of the electric EVette, for ten seconds on a two lane city street, with out braking the law. If you try it I`ll give you a fit.

Tom,
Are you stating a comparison in acceleration, cornering or both?

[tomsines27]

Hi Bill, Neither, just the ststic balance point. Since I'm well versed in electronic controllers, and electric motors for vehicles this will be an electric hangglider. Also, I'm a musician,so it will be tuned to certain notes for strength.

While I'm waiting for an answer to my hangglider question here' s a question for you all. Why are you still driving those smelly gas cars, haven't you had enough carbon monoxide yet?

Hi Bob, How about the static balance point for the hangglider that you fly?

Confession: I was at Torrey Pines all day yesterday - with my Falcon set up - and I didn't remember to take the measurement you requested. I'm sorry Tom.

The only excuse I can offer is the constant tension at that site. In fact, one of the Torrey Pines instructors called the police because I was - heaven forbid - taking pictures. The officer arrived and made it very clear that people are allowed to take pictures in a public park. He saw no need for any additional action, and I was allowed to stay. Thanks officer!!

Fortunately Tom, I'm planning a trip to Fort Funston where things are much more relaxed. I should be able to post that measurement by the end of the week. I'm sorry for the delay.

Hi Bob, No problem, glad you didn't arrested.

here' s a question for you all. Why are you still driving those smelly gas cars, haven't you had enough carbon monoxide yet?

Is there a real alternative?
