Very impressive Ron! I also like the way you have a backup strap in case your primary strap fails. Nice control prior to launch letting the wind do the work of holding the glider up. It's great that the city let's this activity happen. A lot of places they would be saying "no no fun here." Getting low over the water must be a little nerve-wracking. Nice lift from the condos! That's a pretty bold line you took was that a lot of good options to bail if you lost your lift. We want to see the landing though!
@@NelsonsWings no really good bailout options for HG, only PG. I've done this run so many times in my PG before attempting this! Don't think I could have done it so seemingly casual otherwise lol. Big commitment!
i wouldn't have zipped up all the way either! 😄 nice job using what was there. i'm thinkin' one of the new alpha 235's might be a bit easier (slightly slower as well though)
A couple times I've failed. Usually I can make it safely to a small beach but I've had a water landing once and crashed into the hill once which really hurt me.
