@ Jana :
THANKS for posting That !!
Look at the block in the upper Right hand corner of my screen-shot ( the lower training hill) ; It does not belong to CSS, and if the new owners decide to limit our use of their land for an approach , (which they Can) the HG pilots are in Serious trouble !! I can hit the CSS owned land with my Rigid , (just need to add a speed break) ; I suspect most HG pilots could Not.
Now look at the block of land owned by the Ranch , in the upper Left side of my screen-shot ; without that aria to use as an approach to landing , a lot of PG pilots will be in trouble , (especially if there are more than person on approach).
Think twice people , before you decide to give up relations with the ranch ; it will affect most or the pilots in this club !!

PGs could practically land anywhere if they’re skilled enough
Yes , your are correct ; but less than 1/2 , of the PG pilots , and less than 30% HG pilots , in this club , (from what I see) could make a safe approach into the landing aria , without the use of the ranch property ; (especially if there are more than two pilots in the pattern at once.

Thanks for posting the video Jana ; it was nice of you to take the time in doing so !!!!
As was mentioned ; the ranch was originally developed to help secure a better approach to the LZ .
Here is a proposal I’d like to make to All CSS members ; both PG and HG pilots :
Your next 5 landings , into the LZ ; pretend there are 20′ palm trees surrounding the entire perimeter of the current Ranch property , and Do Not use the ranch property for your approach . A pilot will immediately notice just how important the ranch property is ; for making a safe approach into the current LZ.
I fly both PG and Rigid wings , and the Rigid wing can be made to loose altitude at a much steeper and safer decent rate, than any Rogallo wing on the market ; so I am confident that me and my wing can and will land without using the ranch as an approach. The PG’s on a heavy day of traffic ; you are in trouble , without the ranch property available for your approach.
Just saying : Bille Floyd

Jerome,
might I suggest you run for prez?
And Linda is a smart , and Voicetress person , who questions everything that happens within club business ; I think she would make a good president , for our club !!

There is Talk to type for text now-a-days ; Best of both worlds , when done from a video !!

OR :
Just make a video recording ; then post it on Youtube for a month, and if anyone wants to watch it :
well they can. The little computer recording sticks, are really cheap ; and then it is a permanent record !
Bille
I have bin flying these hills since 1978 ; I want what is best for
the club, and all its members.
The training hill was used
to test-fly my Atos , by Rebar Dan
