Wow, we did it!
May 29th, 2008 in General.
I’ll cut right to the chase: I flew!
This picture doesn’t show it well due to the long grass, but I am in fact flying. (I stalled right after this picture was taken, but that’s beside the point!) This isn’t even with good wind - when the wind was favorable, I flew near half way down the hill. Despite the police, high-tension power lines inducing current in the glider frame, and fussy wind, I left the ground. Check out the glider section for video, more pics, etc.
