    I have just booked my first lessons and these videos are inspirational to us prospective flyers. I look at this 5-year-old video and compare it those you posted 1 year ago and think "yes!, this is achievable"

  • @Nashy76

    Toward the end of the video I feel the hit the spot mentality Is not helpful. we see a capable student pull on speed and execute a crap landing trying to hit the spot because his instructors have told him this means you did well. Much better to carry out a good landing just past the spot as a student. Everything else will come later

    • @scottw550
      @scottw550 4 года назад +1

      I think I landed there once. Yeah, ground effect will extend your glide about 50% more than a beginner would expect, trying to hit a spot will lead to crummy landings and broken downtubes.

    Hey ! Is that Mike Jefferson ? He used to live in here in Visalia years ago when he and flew Slick Rock/ Springville and Bear Mountain near Tehachapi, Ca.
    John, when you earn your H3, you should come up to Dunlap (Sequoia Park) to fly with us local HG pilots? Patrick B.

    Earned my hang II off this hill, (Oct. 1982). Then right after proceeded to destroy my ankle while back packing. Spent lots of time in wheel chair, etc.
    Sold my Super Lancer and my snow skiing gear. I loved the flying, and I'm totally paranoid of heights. If I even look at a photo taken by some one looking straight down from a tower my knees get weak and shaky and chills come over me. Somewhere I have my old license and Wings of Rogallo membership card

    great place to learn, I tried at an unmown field with gopher holes in it, I was afraid to run fast over it and my wing couldn't lift my weight, tried a bunch of different days but gave up in the end and sold my glider :(

      There are quite a few instructors giving lessons at Ed Levin in Milpitas. That is where I started. I cannot necessarily recommend a particular instructor, but I'd recommend doing a search and trying out an intro lesson. Good luck!

    Don't worry this is about as scary as it gets. Taking off on bunny hills and landing again is the dangerous part. Once you get to soaring under cumulus clouds you'll love but even then be cairfall not to upset. You are a bug Compared to the forces of nature.

    • @bayleyadams9259
      @bayleyadams9259 3 года назад +1

      You know you best of course, but speaking as a 250lbs pilot it can be done! They manufacture wings big enough to hold 300lbs (more for the tandem wings), but the instructors generally ask a lot of questions above ~225lbs to make sure you can deal with running short sprints holding a 60-70 lbs glider. Learning while lighter is of course easier on the knees, if you'd prefer to go that route. It is indeed amazing!

      Well effort is always required and if you want to do something you will put forth the effort. Obviously you can’t just fold up your wing in jump in the van, a little disassembly and reassembling is required. But to have both would open up more conditions you can fly in
