What is the deal here in Ecuador? The crowds came out again to watch the hang
gliding, both foot launched and aerotowed. Don't they know that there was at
least one soccer game on? I guess because we are not too far from town, and they
were serving beer and plenty of food, that we represented a pretty... mehr

competitions. We encourage... mehr

they headed over to the newly created official LZ to get interviewed by the
assembled media and to get up the hill for the official opening of the launch
and the new Guayaquil Center for Free Flight, just a few minutes from downtown
Guayaquil. The opening was be... mehr

"The Odysseus is actually a combination of three planes made up of
164-foot-long, wing-shaped structures. The planes would be launched separately
and then combine once in the stratosphere, where air is calmer. Once the craft
is fully assembled, it measures 492 feet in width and is capable of zipping
along at 140 miles per hour... mehr

The competition pilots (anyone who enters a USHPA sanctioned
competition), through their entry fees, pay 100% of the costs of the US
competition program. The USHPA and the USHPA members (not including competition
pilots) pay zero dollars to support the US competition program. The competition
is totally self supporting and totally paid for by... mehr

Enter the Idaho stop-sign law. The rule, passed by the Idaho state
legislature in 1982 and updated in 2005, essentially allows bikers to treat stop
signs as yield signs. If a biker slows down and sees no cars coming, he or she
can roll through a stop sign—a so-called "rolling stop." The... mehr

We can ride two wheel bicycles because of the conservation of
angular momentum otherwise it would be very difficult to keep it upright. You
can find explanations

momentum up to a value that can't be overcome easily. Perhaps adding a
