Update… During the September 17 2022 board meeting, Stan (President) stated that:
- The board is not currently seeking to change the bylaws.
- There will be no proposal for changes to the bylaws at the upcoming general membership meeting.
The July 16 board meeting minutes have been posted here.
Reminder bump.

I “see” your 300 acre Radford fire, and “raise you” by 1700 acres…
Also stated on Monday, is the Fairview fire in Hemet, about 10 miles SSE of the Soboba flight park:

I’m keeping an eye on news about the Forza 2, and will incorporate it when it becomes available.
Maybe the Forza‘s tail will grow.I know, I know…
Thank you for following up Jai Pal, clarifying the club’s status and keeping/renewing the club as a Chapter.
It’s mostly just a title, but why not since it’s free.
This posting on July 5 2022 clearly states a desire to accept AUA ratings: “We’re trying to add to the bylaws of the club to accept other forms of rating system such as USHPA, IPPI, FAI and AUA“.
This is difficult to reconcile with Stan’s statement, 11 days later during the July 16 2022 board meeting: “There is no current plan to accept AUA ratings“.
Maybe there is a disconnect between board members and hopefully the confusion will be resolved at the upcoming (Sept 17, 2022) board meeting, which has on its agenda: “By-laws review for updates at the next general membership meeting“. We will then see if the proposed updates mention the acceptance of AUA ratings (or anything else than USHPA, IPPI).
Extra info: In the club bylaws, I find no place that restricts the rating providers (to be from USHPA). The only thing close is “Section 2. Qualifications”, but that relates to liability insurance, not ratings. The site guidelines do state rating requirements and provenance.
That is a great tip. I learned it from a wedding dress repair place, when I took in a rucksack for a zipper replacement, and the guy fixed it in an instant, with the same advice of “don’t over-squeeze”.
The other thing that happens often with coiled zippers is that tiny grains of dirt/rock jam the teeth in a few areas along the zipper. Best not to use Silicone lubricant, even the “dry” type (many recommend this) as it will “invite” more particles to stick, but instead flick/shake/vibrate the area to dislodge embedded particles. Works better than using a brush (without vibration) to clean the zipper teeth.
From motorcycle jackets, I learned that despite my dislike of coiled zippers (preferring the “Vislon” molded teeth), coiled is more durable (reference). So coiled zipper are a good fit for rucksacks or concertina bags (one can avoid zippers altogether) exposed to dirt and bending.
Happy zippering.
For Bille…
I believe Jonathan said “As you were” like they say in the military, meaning “return to what you were doing before”, and not implying anything about Linda’s character. It would have been different if he said “as you are“.
After Friday’s flight in stronger air (flight data), I decided it’s a keeper. Previous wing is for sale.
Thanks to Cory for the video of my launch (mp4).
Flying again Saturday, just for the fun of it.
On Tuesday my student had one, and it was as easy as it gets for inflation and kiting. It also now has top surface flexible ribs/rods at the leading edge, between the walls.
