    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 …

    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 ?

    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 !!
