Had my first flight on the RS that i purchased from Gary and found it very easy to fly and i was over the moon witht he performance of the kite, think i should have moved over to a topless years ago, just goes to show you get comfortable with something which i think makes you reluctant to move to so...

Oh dear oh dear!!! i think i still remember the rule being 1 ridge run per day on the same hill however don't know if this still applies? Saturday was brilliant for hang glidng, 4 or 5 ridge runs could havebeen done with ease, taking into account that you have to land and take off again after two cu...

Good idea, please put me down for 2 places

Count me in too

your quite right about it being a good day we used to camp there for the weekend when this was year after year. It is a good and interesting day for all the family. If like me, you fly large scale aircraft it is free admission as long as you fly, well thats how it used to work, but well worth the da...

priceless

After getting my GPS sorted with co-ordinates and such, and learning how to use it properly i decided to try a navigational triangle task this morning on the power unit flying the JAVA. Had a pleasant flight and used almost all of my fuel battling a south easterly head wind. Now that i have had two ...

Hi All

Congratulations to Neil Smith, overall winter league winner and also to everyone else who contributed to the league by placing their name on the board thereby making the winter league more competitive. Watching what others are doing and with GPS you can see how they managed their flights so this is ...

Hi Gary

I have tried to enter the flight onto the NXCC league however not sure if the os reference is correct. Can we sort this out at the meeting if you can.

Many thanks

Well I'm about to change that Steve. Marske to Skinningrove and back yesterday with no GPS. Luckily I had Alan right behind me to verify this so with a turnpoint witness this is all legal as an entry for the winter XC League. What do you mean dave you didnt even get past huntcliffe :twisted: :twist...

Yes i know i will hold my hands up i did not notam it, but i did not think i would be going due to the weather. I had a choice of six sites on the way down and changed my mind whether to go to work or to go flying, i was going to go to weather fell however changed my mind at the last minute and i di...

Had a pleasant 40 minutes flight until i was rudely interrupted by tornados, front, side and overhead not sure how close they were but i certainly felt the shockwaves...think they were jealous really...

already electric powered hanggliders are flying. These require less overall power than p.p.g, however p.p.g are not to far behind. The dream is now becoming reality.

Fantastic talk Gary really enjoyable and welcome aboard...am hoping to get you flying down the north east coast one day soon!

might be able to make it tomorrow, see you at Carlton Bank!

Hi Bob Only had a short flight bob because the mist was coming in. I flew the Rio for an hour first and compared to the Rio and the Rumour 2 the JAVA straightaway felt easier to fly than the other two except for the wing wires feeling much more loose than the others, but much better with the JAVA it...

Here is a short video of my takeoff

Totally agree with you Gary, hanggliding is so much better. Got to give you credit for your enthusiasm and hope to see you out and about. Soon you will be eating the miles and we will have to watch that leader board

That looks a fantastic flying site would love to fly there maybe we should arrange a trip or use our imagination and fly at Horden
