Training Bowl flight..video
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:22 amHi!
Just a note, the training bowl is alive and open for use (always has been), here is a video of a nice safe flight. The wind was N/W and strong. This launch is even better if the wind is W or S/W.
Please note, this is not a beginner site, if you want to fly, you must have a hang one AND must be able to TURN (turn or die, remember T.O.D)!
On your first day, I suggest you draw a line on the sand parallel to the breakers and practice your flights so that your ground track (while landing) will match the line in the sand. Avoid at all costs landing in the surf. ok? Turn back into the hill if you need to avoid people.
In this video, George took off from the lowest launch, there are two additional launches higher up the hill. It's easy to get 15-20 flights in a day. More later.
