    Monday , June 19

    I wanted another flight on my Atos VRX ; wanted it SOOooo bad that I almost went for it by myself, and knew the wind was a bit more than I could safely handle. I could not find a driver , willing to watch me setUp and launch me . This flight would have bin Awesome, with little fear of the landing approach for a 15-m wing , (cause I’d already don it)  and I knew the beast was flying to near perfection in the air.

    Dan’s check-list , (… Conditions right… ) ; that would be a NO , and so I packed up my $h!t , and went back home to Vegas , (to FLY , another day) . :(

    Yea — I could’a Probably self launched, and had a Blast  ; but I would be Dead , if I had bin wrong.

    Actually, the person who did this has told several people that he did it and provided an explanation as to why he did it.  This isn’t a blind accusation.

     

    May I ask ; What was the provided explanation ?

    ENGO EYEWEAR …

    Hi Bill

     

    First of all, we would like to thank you for your interest in our connected glasses.

    Our products are the result of a long series of prototypes and required us to meet multiple technical challenges.

    Unfortunately we could not integrate corrective lenses.

    Indeed our current lenses must observe a certain curvature, a certain coating, a certain size and all this makes it difficult to add glasses for our users with high myopia.

    We have chosen for the moment to offer an innovative, technical, lightweight product with great autonomy and which is completely adapted to presbyopic athletes.

    We are aware that many people would like to benefit from a solution in this direction and we hope that in the near future our team of engineers will be able to take up this new challenge and thus satisfy all our sports friends in search of challenges and performance.

    We provide an unconditional 30 day trial, so individuals with corrective vision requirements can check to see if ENGO will work for them.

     

    Thanks for your understanding
