    the situation: you are standing on the ground and you are watching at the trike in the sky what is going to land. Usually you can see the bottom side of trike. My question is: what is a chance to see upper side of wing? see at 2:30 It was the stall...

      Looks like you got a quick recovery - coming down pretty fast for that low altitude,

      We had to increase our air speed very quick.

    I just received my check back from First Flight Insurance. They are not renewing USUA 3rd. party liability insurance and mine expires tomorrow 4-23-19. I am wondering what others in the group are doing for insurance now?

    I forgot to mention, if you are gonna fly over water PLEASE wear a life jacket! Hang gliders and paragliders that have landed in the ocean or surf have a slim chance of survival unless there is a boat nearby to fish them out of the water. All the...

    Chasing Bill and Barb (coworkers) on their Jetskis. On a side note, the jetskis are both powered by Rotax engines too! My GoPro 7 Black camera was spent on the earlier Grand Canyon run, so I had to land and mount the old, trusty GoPro 3 for this...

      I forgot to mention, if you are gonna fly over water PLEASE wear a life jacket! Hang gliders and paragliders that have landed in the ocean or surf have a slim chance of survival unless there is a boat nearby to fish them out of the water. All the cables and wires and seat belts etc can get you caught and drag you right to the bottom. On a happier note, they are very cheap on Amazon $70-$200 for a high tech, CO2 powered vest. They are VERY thin and wear like a shirt, but pull the handle and a small CO2 canister inflates it for you right now. Better to lose your trike than your life if you have to ditch.

    I wanted to fly with my father visit our friends to another airport. Spring thermal is strong, I know it plus a little wind. But what awaited us there at 3:00pm was unexpected... I was completely sweaty... We were sitting for a nonalcoholic beer and...

      Yes very glad they were able to walk away from this one given what that crash site picture shows. If I'm not mistake that looks like the Air Creation that Jeff Hoff owned and flew from Kona airport. As a CFI Jeff had a trike instruction business there at Kona and I flew with him there back in 2010 in that trike. I was aware that he wanted to sell his trike and close down his business but I never found out who bought his trike. I guess it is possible that this guy Charles also setup an intro flight and instruction business there with this trike he bought from Jeff. I believe Jeff was a member at some point with the original Sky Gypsies group. Any way, I found it quite intimidating flying a trike in Kona area with rough course lava every where and very few potential LZs (an occasional golf course). Not a great place to have an engine out for sure. Although a tragedy, very glad to see there was no fatality or serious injury.

    We were only up the trees. It flashed me a think we have no enough space - height for recover. The Aeros Profi wing is amazing. I love it!
