General Member“Knock on wood” but my only injury from 30+ years of hang gliding is a …. Twisted ankle….. from getting my HG out of a garage carrying the HG in the tight space between a car and the garage wall🙄…. I have, However, done a lot of damage to my wallet over the years from all types of flying 😮
See you in the air, Alan
General MemberThinks Bille,
I am 63 and hope to get another dozen years +/- of foot launching and landing gliders. But as the old saying goes (regarding when to retire) …. 2 bad days in a row? Fortunately I have the Super Floater (and maybe the PW-2 again) to give me some Zero or minimal cockpit crossover to sailplanes when my feet are no longer an option for landing gear. Our Elsinore club is going to install a “sport canopy” (open cockpit canopy like on most biplanes) on one of their two SGS-126 single place gliders which is fun but nothing beats HG or PG and that includes flying in a 60:1 Nimbus-4 sailplane.😮. Thanks for the PPG referral or lead. I have a Gibbo (HG) trike…. But flying paraglider trikes has no appeal to me. I would rather fly any number of fixed wing ultralights with a fixed or rigid wing.

General MemberThank you for the update. See you in the air.

General MemberAllo…. Now that Sylmar has set May 9&10 for their Air Fest….. Has CSS set the dates for our 2026 Fly-ins ?
General MemberYes… the two “legs” are a variation/copy of the Swedish “mosquito” motor HG harness that used a husqvarna gas engine

General MemberBump… for the September 20th fly-in. I am hoping to make it and fly my “Super Floater” air chair style glider (similar to the GOAT or BUG gliders). I will need to brush off a bit of dust and would be more motivated to fly it if I know there is any interest from any club members interested in checking out the air chair style or class of gliders. Myself and three other CSS members own individual or in partnership two Super Floaters, one Goat and a BUG gliders. We could use some “young bloods” that want to fly these type of gliders to join our group and to encourage us all to start flying them more often.
As a side note I will probably post a listing in the marketplace for a Brightstar Swift Glider as well as a HG Doodlebug power harness. I would prefer to find someone (ones) that would like to be a partner on the Swift rather than sell it outright, and could bring these to the Fly-in as well. If interested text me at 951 eight-one-three 5186. Thanks, Alan. (See you in the air)
General MemberWell, I don’t think you could or should hold the club financially responsible. With that logic why not make every single member of the club financially for the damage for voting in board members that have not solved the problem. Clearly the dog owner(s) are responsible 🤔
General MemberBump….. 2 weeks from today. 🎉 🎊 🎈 ✈️
