A group of us loaded our gliders onto Liz's 4Runner and headed North to Plymouth, Utah to join Matt and Cody to fly the Short Divide on Saturday November the first. Launch is at the top of the hill near the antenna above Liz's head. A good time was had by all. Heya Mike - nice write-up and pics! A Piano Player i...

I have had the Viper since January 2003 and flown about 36 hours and 50 flights with the harness, and consequently it is time to sum up my experiences. Hence, this is not a comparative review, it is a summary of my experiences with the Viper. Added January 2006: I still fly the Viper and is still very pleased with it. Further, I think that my initial assessment still holds. First a...

GliderMike's Adventures: August 2008
http://glidermike.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
This is about my adventures and misadventures. I have attempted to avoid being philosophical on this blog. See my piano player in a brothel blog for philosophy comments. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Today, I was exchanging emails with one of the people with The League of American Bicyclists. About different stuff, and came to the full realization I am addicted to aviation. If there was an organization called Aviator's Anonymous. And it had meetings similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. Monday, August 11, 2008.

Falcon 3 195 “review”, added October 4th 2007. New from the Falcon 2 is that the Falcon 3 is delivered with a speedbar, a nose cone, and has a transverse batten which makes the wash out support the two out-most curved batten. In addition, I think that the sail cut is improved and it is small changes to the hardware. I can not th...

Bjørn Hammer’s Hang Gliding Page. Hanggliding, gliding, and related stuff. June 6th – 9th – Thursday to Sunday – 2002: Good quantity, bad quality. This weekend provided flights every day, but unfortunately each flight could have been more successful. Also the hg competition arranged by my club and me could have been more successful. A short report from each day follows:. When we arrived at 2000 conditions were still quite good at Tronfjell, and I got a nice evening flight in calm conditions. It has been ...
