When the powerful North winds hit, I went to the LZ to take it down. Sadly, I was not quick enough and it was all ready shredding in the wind.
I’m thinking an aluminum wind indicator like below , might work better ; It wont shred in the wind as easy. It could be made with a hinge on the front so it droops down in light winds …

That was Awesome !!!!
Rob wanted to sponsor me , through WW , after I pulled a first place on a borrowed WW Duck , at the first Torrey air races ,(i had beat both the national , and the world champion) in that race ; I was Stupid back then and said no .
Rob was a Great guy ; I miss him !!!!!

John, it appears you are confusing loyalty to individuals vs. leadership. Please don’t put words in my mouth… I spoke with every single HG pilot in the club to campaign for a change in board leadership during a regular cycle BOD election…
No you didn’t.
I was a Hang glider pilot and member of CSS at the time ; Luke never spoke to me even once about this subject , and I was present at CSS a Lot prior to that last BOD election.
And with that note clarified , I will now remove myself from this discussion ; because it’s like speaking with far Left/Right when I am an Independent, searching for common ground , (Aristotle’s meaning).

… Dan was my Instructor and Gene was my friend… do you actually think I, or anyone, took any pleasure in the actions we had to take? …
What exactly is the reason that Gene cannot be allowed on CSS property ; after serving the full time for the ban that you imposed ?

You might have sullied yourself first, Dan. In your usual fashion. In fact you were removed from the BOD during your term. The rest were voted
out. Resoundingly.I do Not remember there being a Shade Pavilion , before
the prior board took over ; am I mistaken ? Dan was on that board .
I was also told that Linda , never once
helped with the rebar or cement job, that was necessary for
the construction of that Pavilion ; YEP — Dan did most of all
the work , so are you forgetting that also ?Bille
I asked that question because … …
I don’t have a storage bin !! LOL
Bille
Will the BBQ be catered ; the last pro-cooks were awesome !!
Looking forward to seeing everyone …

I wonder why ?
When I first started flying Elsinore in 1977 ; we were landing on the North side of Hy-74 , and that one got shut down ; the 80’s is when the after-flying party got moved to the Oak tree. Gonna miss that tree ; never gonna forget it though !!

Only cameras can help stop, and identify the perpetrators ; all dogs at CSS are supposed to be leashed.
Gene called me yesterday and asked: “What did I post ; that made Luke so upset” ? According to Gene ; Luke was blaming him for something I had said. Truth is Luke : Until yesterday , I had not spoken to Gene for a few months ; so you were wrong about him being an instigator.
Here is why I don’t like you sir : The first time I had ever met you we were talking about composites , and I still see the condescending way you were looking at me ; acting like you were all knowing and I was some fool on the subject. Truth is that both Walter Reed hospital and the new VA facility in Las Vegas, wanted to hire me for my expertise on the subject. I have built my own fake legs, and the lay-up schedule for the ones I’m wearing now and the last pair, were designed by me. Luke you had no idea that I was taught composites by one of the best engineers that the USA has to offer and the same man had invited me to work on both military and personal projects.
Please back off Gene , because he had Nothing to do with the post I made , and the post itself was nowhere near as condescending to you ; as Luke was to me on the day we first met.
