I totally agree with Peter ; if i didn’t Just purchase a used
Atos, then i would enjoy owning that glider ! Great Machine, easy
to fly ; gives feedback on what the air is doing , so staying “In”
the thermal, is easy !!
I would say to change the side-wires ; and someone is gonna get
a really fun glider.

@ George Stebbins
I Really Liked that post ; a well thought out, dose of reality !!

That is interesting ; but it’s almost like Trump , was the one who directed the
CDC to say that !
That link said :
For the first time, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has given a realistic estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, which in its most likely scenario is 0.26 %.
Divide that .26% , by .o9% for the seasonal Flue deaths ; that still makes
covid-19 , 2.88 times (More dangerous) than the flue . Lets not forget about
the fact that covid kills old people like me ; at a way higher rate than it does
the younger people, (and you left that part out, in your argument).
I had Covid , and lived through it ; i had to fight Hard , to do that
and now i probably got Tuns of antibodies, to fight it off again, if needed.
A Bunch of people in the world ; they weren’t as Lucky , (or Healthy) as Me (.)

Mitch : ” The Covid hoax was based on a projection of 3.5% infected fatality rate”.
Bille Floyd here — And i could really care less about “ALL” that sh!t ; what
i know, is that fricken Lil bug , (it almost took me Out) like
preeminently, as in Dead . You believe anything Ya want ; that
corona bug , is fricken Dangerous !!!
The % rate for Death , per number infected, here in Las Vegas
has bin holding at 2.07 % average, since the middle of
last month ; doing the math that’s 40% off the mark of 3.5 % projected
but still , “Quite” high. Here , do the math for the 30’th of Sept :
Infected : 67176 , dead : 1391 = 2.07 % death rate.
What is the death rate for the Flue ? Answer : about 23 X , Less !

It’s a Bummer, how some people are !! Same thing happened at a park
in Las Vegas ; now it has a steel fence around the perimeter, at a
cost of Thousands of dollars , to the tax payers.

Thanks Dave !!!
I had a pre-order in , with full payment due for a Polini Thor 202
engine at the end of the year ; was going to put it on my Exxtacy glider.
BUT
After surviving a Really nasty case of corona-19 last month ,(almost Died)
i decided to buy myself a used Atos , for a present ; so the engine
is gonna have to wait another 6 months . Good to know that i can
fly out of there next year ; and i propably will be spending a bunch
of time there.
Next up, is a better PG, (my harness and reserve are fine) but
my Skywalk Chili is simply to old and too big, for me to feel comfortable
while flying it.

I got a Lot of hours , flying Soboba back in the 80’s ; was using
a HG though. What would the owner think, about me flying
out of there, with my rigid-wing, with an engine and folding
prop ?

August 25, 2020 at 3:25 AM in reply to: The Emotional Need to Feel Part of the Talented Group #10057Really enjoyed that Jerome !!!
” You can’t buy Happiness”, now That hit home. After watching
this video, i decided to turn my Large Skywalk Chili, into a flying
sailboat spinnaker , for my Hobie-21 ; and get a more suitable / stable PG
for my late day flying. If i want/Need, Active air adrenaline ; i’ll get it on
my Rigid wing HG , from now on !!
Bille
Jerome said : “makes it feel more real.”
And this is as real as it gets :
Slowly suffocating , while drowning in a pool of your
own blood ; it is a truly Horrific way to die ! It almost
happened to me last week.
Bille
If your right one is only 9 1/2 , then yea , it would put a slight left hand turn in the
wing ; but we could take a hacksaw, and dice it down to your size !! LOL
Do you want the Carbon ; or a SS foot ?
Bille
The Left foot ?
Tell Jeff, that i have a spare Foot, he can borrow ; till his gets better !
It’s a size 11,1/2 men.

When you start doing 3 to 4 hour flights ; you will notice how keeping
hydrated is, “Essential” to keeping a sharp mind , in order to make good
flying decisions .
Also — you say ya like back-country snow sports ; then you should definitely
check out snow-kiting, (it’a a Blast) and i do it with two fake legs , on skies or snowboard !!!
Google search : snow kiting video .
