First Wills Wing was the US distributor for Rotor, but it was
difficult to communicate with Nene Rotor in Brazil (language issues, for one). I
purchased a Rotor harness during that time. Loved it and still have it.
Then Jeff Shapiro designed the Covert to be the next step and worked with Wills
Wing to represent the Covert. Dustin at times... mehr

chance of upslope at Marshall. The top of the lift is forecast to be very good
with thermals perhaps to above 10K MSL. 20% chance... mehr

Since no one in open class has made goal, the task committee
decided to shorten the task once again to the point where we could make it. And
they were very clever making the task over the dry uncultivated and unirrigated

with a good... mehr

of me. As he rose up the cart was attached to the left corner of his base tube.
He had a wireless push to talk on his base tube which has a cable on it and it
attached to one of the hose handles.Kelly released the tow line at a height about equal to the size of a cart and... mehr

The forecast was for winds out of the southwest at 10 mph. When we
got to launch the winds were light with the ground shaded by a thin line of
cirrus heading off to our west southwest.We got the sport class off first along with the early birds and then the ordered
launch. I hung on the tow line until 2,000' AGL, (3,300') as there didn't seem... mehr

One of the main reasons I enjoy flying in Florida, Georgia,
Maryland, Wisconsin, Texas and Arizona is that for the most part you don't have
to put much energy into keeping track of possible landing spots as they are
every where. Sure there are some fields that aren't applicable, but for the most
part landing stress is significantly reduced.... mehr
