First Test Flights - April 19/20


Despite temporarily getting stuck in the muddy part of McDermott (FYI-Spectra line makes a good tow line!) Rik, Thor and I got yanked into the sky 15 times. Saturday the conditions were perfect for the huge Condor 330 (light winds) and by the end of the day we unanimously decided this the best beginner hang gliding training tool available and all for less gas than a cup of coffee.

Sunday we set up the intermediate glider and the pulley and were very pleased with the test results. Thanks to Pilots Dan Morris & Rik Bouwmeester, Mechanic Army Bob and Photographer Annette. With a few more tweaks to the scooter - we are ready for students.

By the way, the ticks are out in full force.
