My first day of flying in 2023, second flight. Lots and lots of PGs, HGs were represented too. Took a fat cushy thermal to 4100' where I was joined by vultures, flew to the doctor's house as the wonder winds set in, which kept wondering past sunset. Boated across the valley and crossed Rt. 209, then back to the LZ to make circuits then put new grass stains on my jeans. I'm out of shape, my cont...

      Hey Ed... Ellenville is a W-NW site, any day that's not rainy with 5-10 MPH surface winds (north to northwest) is a good bet to see flying happening. On weekends you're more likely to see flyers, but there are pilots who fly mid-week. Also, the best air here tends to be in the afternoon, so that's the best time to come, though there will be some pilots flying from dawn to dusk if conditions permit.

    Hi Michael, What is the rope or string used for on right hand side of some hand gliders? what does it adjust? Here's a hand gliding video I thought you might like: ruclips.net/video/aYhF8ZrSHqM/видео.html

    • @MichaelStrother
      @MichaelStrother Год назад

      That's the VG (variable geometry) adjustment. Tightening or loosening this changes the angle of the leading edges. Tightening increases the glide performance at the expense of responsiveness.

      Yes it's actively flown by the CHGA club when conditions are appropriate. Less than a week ago conditions were prime and a few pilots had multi-hour flights.

    Does the winch operator jerk the pilot forward when they take up tension prior to launch? Jerking the line weakens the weak link. It's better when there is a turnaround pulley and the winch operator is next to the takeoff area and slowly visually removes the slack, then the pilot takes a step back to complete the line tension instead of the line dragging the pilot forward.

    • @MichaelStrother
      @MichaelStrother Год назад

      Pilots were trying to step backwards to create tension, but we did it both ways. This tow the power was very inconsistent, not surprised that it broke.

      It was a weird day... forecast looked a lot better than it turned out, many showed up (parking was overflowing). Just the same there were good cycles and pilots who enjoyed getting above the ridge for 90 minutes or more. I made a tactical error after getting above the ridge and later was dodging traffic in front of launch and ended landing sooner than I would have liked, but fun just the same.
