Bill, and group,
My apologies if my posts are screwing your computer up. Sorry. About a week ago someone posted a video of a car vs a jet. When I tried to view the video it went "nuclear" on my computer. It must have brought a virus with it. My computer would not log on to the internet. It would not work worth a darn!! All kinds of crap rained down on my system!!
After someone posted a response a response about the video, I gave it a try once again, and this time all appeared well, that's why I konw it was a car vs a jet.
It seems we are contantly battling computer problems from people that do it ON PURPOSE!!! Damn, I can't tell you how angry that makes me, that these lowlife SOB's do it deliberately!!
But, if I was somehow included in this latest infection, I do apologize.
Mike Welch

He's got dial up, so if you send anything over a "100 kb" picture, it takes
a long time to download. He doesn't have a choice of whether to download
it or not on his system - it just takes "however long it takes". Some people can't get DLS yet.
It's better to send a smaller picture to the "email list". Try to send it as a JPEG & resize it to
100 kb or less. That is plenty big enough for all of us. Here is a 84 kb picture
just for an example.

We HangGlider types fly the smooth sand dunes when the winds are blowing 25 to 30 and are able to top land like a Sea Gull on a fence post...
We'll set up our approach behind our chosen landing spot then slowly push out to stop
our forward progress then hover over the due...
We pull in to adjust for changes in wind Velocity so to stay in front of the Rotor
which is often just behind us then slowly push out to settle to the top of the due.....
If it looks like well over shoot we simply pull in the bar and dive out into the lift band
of the ridge and make another attempt..
We can also launch from the prone position never using our legs to launch ...
We lay prone and with the aid of the strong wind and your buddies, they fly you
like a kite to the dues edge and push you off into the vertical lift band and away you go...
Lots of fun when our East winds Kick in the early spring and late fall..
Mark

What language?
Possums?
or
Pussys?
or What
Come see me before you die & I'll let you fly my plane.
You can take off on a nice long 5,000 ft paved runway with a full
tank of gas. We will even give you lessons on a 2-seater
for free - just in case you are a little bit rusty on your landings.
But----mine is a lot more fun to fly !!!!
Hell - Ill even strap a camera to the wing so every body can
watch you crash.
