Put Mitch, and Bob’s ideas together : both ideas have polls ; but
when high winds are forecast, ( just roll up the sails) ! Could even
make the sail rolling part Easy ; copy a jib furling rig , found on
most sailboats.

On strong west days , turbulence is bad enough that i would
prefer to land short over next to the training hill, on both
PG, or HG ; than risk getting slammed by the rotor off the
roof of the structure. If i need to break a landing pattern
rule for PG’s , (yea i will do that) because my personal safety
is more important to me ; the HG won’t matter because i’m
allowed over there , in my pattern.
Seriously people —- that roof can toss a significant amount
of turbulence, on strong days ; it should be the, “Main” concern
for anyone with 1/2 a brain !!!!! GURRRRrrrrr

Nice Flight, Ken !!
It looks like your front HG rack , would work on my Toyota Sienna ?
Would you please post a shot, of how it attaches to the frame, underneath ?
I need to build one , in-order to go pick up my new, (used) Atos
next month. :)
Thanks: Bille Floyd
@ Dan
And with all that : there still ain’t anywhere on this entire god-forsaken
planet , that i would rather live ; than here in the good-old USA !!
Anything else ?

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 !!
Bille
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.
Bille
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 !!
