I was recently reminded to be very careful if you use a metal-blade weed-whacker.
A pilot I know accidentally started a brush fire, after the metal-blade hit a rock, and sparked in the dry grass.
You don’t want a day starting as “generous volunteer effort” to end as “life changing felony”. Be sure you use the proper equipment and are cautious about how you use it.Eric Muss-BarnesGeneral MemberYou’re welcome. It’s not perfect, but it’s better.
Eric Muss-BarnesGeneral MemberI started a project which might help promote the sport a little bit…
Eric Muss-BarnesGeneral MemberI’m the old fart , that walks on 2 fake legs , and enjoys flying both Hg , and PG ; but sucks on both !!
Hello, Bille. You launch hang gliders and paragliders with fake legs? Impressive!
Since the beach spoiled me with steady 6MPH to 13MPH winds making launching and landing so easy, I was nervous that low wind flights may be a challenge.
But if you run fast enough to launch the AJX training hill with fake legs, I have no excuse! -
