Thanks Mark !!!
I show the short video ya took of me landing my 15-meter Atos a lot ; same reaction every time , (they Love it) !!!

I think much the same . Bin flying Paragliders since 1989 , and hang gliders since 1977 ; I feel way more comfortable on a Rigid-Wing glider. Funny though, that I never had so much as a scratch or skinned knee from a PG ; but lost a bunch of body parts from hang gliding. :(
I got a helicopter ride from just under cloud a few years back ; was flying a PG that day and received essentially no injury, except for the bee sting on my tongue that may have contributed to the crash.

Website: flywithjordan.infoJordan taught Arti , (one of your local PG pilots) how to also fly PPG , and Arti is in King Mt Idaho doing exactly that right now. He Loves it !! If you have trouble with your legs in any way then perhaps getting a trike or quad may be a better option ; back-pack PPG units are not light.
How old are you Alan ? I’m getting up in age also ; but still love to fly ! Thinking of putting a motor and folding prop on my big 15m Atos VRX ; but keep the 12m Atos as foot-launch only.

Contact this instructor for landing advise ; the guy is really knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Do you fly Rigid or Rogallo ?

… Portable ADS-B Out systems, also known as “suitcase” units, should not be operated (transmitting) aboard any aircraft, with the exception of TSO-C199 devices …
So I google searched TSO-C199 devices , and got this :
… TSO-C199 devices, known as Traffic Awareness Beacon Systems (TABS), are FAA-certified, low-power ADS-B Out equipment designed for voluntary equipage on aircraft not mandated to carry transponders, such as gliders, balloons, and vintage aircraft. They enhance safety by enabling visibility to other aircraft equipped with TCAS, TAS, or ADS-B In.

This video was informative about the ADS-B in/out :

I would like to talk to you about that , next time I am at CSS ; I don’t want that to happen to me. :(
Bille
I contacted the company , and the owner said we may be able to work out something out for my Atos VRX; the span is too big for me to feel good about launching it on two fake legs. I have the smaller Atos for foot launching ; I don’t need help with that one. See you guys in February next year !
Bille
That is Awesome !! I would want the battery to have the ability to Eject , if it got too Hot. The two legs under the prop is a design from older motor harnesses with ICE , (gas engines) .

Thanks for the info !

@ Luke
I sincerely hope your correct , and as soon as this situation is rectified ; that is when I will rejoin CSS and make really good use of the Atos that was given to me !! But as I mentioned ; my brother was a member of a club , and he got screwed as an individual.

… I feel for Steve but if he is on land he shouldn’t be he must relocate. No ifs or buts
This situation , “IS” the reason that I did not rejoin CSS . Some of you may not realize that if the landowner decided to file a lawsuit … (this is important) ; that landowner could go after each and every member of CSS, instead of just the club as a whole. How do I know this (?) ; it happened to my brother !
