For ME , the solution is simple :  i can separate the controls to my

spoilers , by adding sliders , and now i have independent control

surfaces, for massive drag , to be used for short field landings ; bin doing that on

the Fledge , with rudders, since 1980 ; so it’s is a kinda simple technique, that i’m

already use to.

Now a rag-wing pilot has No real , (viable) glide ratio control ; if he encounters

lift, on his approach , then there is a decent chance of an over-shoot, and there

is no way around it.

@ Jana Pivkova

I think you should read what, “John Benario” had to say , (again) :

— “The page mentions that because of two pilot to pilot lawsuits the RRG is going to run a loss this year, and warns of long term viability because of suits like these.  One of the suits being about”

“ a collision between a kiting glider and a glider coming in to land.

=============================================

Jana wrote  : “Do we then fine hang gliders who can’t land in their own part of the field? Or just paragliders kiting their wing too close to the line” ?

Seriously ? You Really said that ?? You honestly think that kiting a PG

is more important , than a pilot attempting to Land their glider ,(PG or HG) ??

Before you answer ; re-read what John Benario had to say , above.

Do Ya get it now ? Because i believe the usage permit that CSS has

for their club members ability to fly ; i think it’s contingent upon an insurance

policy, being  in place ? What are ya gonna do , when it’s gone ? Or maybe

you haven’t thought it ? If something isn’t done promptly ; it is an

accident waiting to happen , and another lawsuit , just waiting to

take the RRG under. I already have a plan in place, if that happens , and i’m

still gonna get to soar gliders legally ; what are you going to do ?

OK you guys :

I’m optimistic enough about this bug being brought under control ; i

plan to rejoin the USHPA next month , and come fly with you-All

this summer.

SO

if you see a white haired legless dude ; no need to run away in fear

because i usually have Beer !!

This one hit HOME ; for me :

USHPA suggestion : “If you’re planning to begin flying again after an

extended time away, keep in mind the spring/early summer conditions

and your current skill level. Take the time to safely work back up to

challenging conditions and ambitious flights”.

 

And also — i realize that this lock-down affected a lot of people in

a very negative way ; but , because of my compromised  immune condition

due to not having a spleen , (it also improved the odds of , “MY” living

through this , by a bunch) !!

SO

I appreciate the inconvenience , to all affected !!

 

Last Saturday , Las Vegas started to open Up ; we will see in

about 10 more days from now, if the average infected rate ,

changes for the (+ or -). Right now it’s about 100 new infected

cases, each day ; and that is with the Lock-Down.

@ Mitch.

 

Your a really smart guy , and i,ve respected Ya for a many of years ; hoping

this little disagreement, doesn’t affect our friendship ?

 

Bottom line for me :

I’m 67 , and ain’t got a spleen ; if i catch this bug, my Odds of living

aren’t looking so good , (based on death-rate , by age, due to corona, in NY).
