Tell us about those bungie cords in front of you ? - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 17:41 7
- maybe. did you know that gliders are stored without their wings? it takes about 10 minutes to put it all together! -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:43 6
  - I must link my brother to your video. He likes to go down to Hamilton and catch rides on the antique airplanes. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 17:45 1
    - this was actually *just* north of Hamilton, he probably knows them. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:52
  - Did they tell you that before or after you paid for the flight? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:45 3
    - oh, i didn't *pay*. - Andie Jul 18, 17:49 2
      - I don't pay for things either. Hence I don't get to do them. - Bacon Jul 18, 17:51 1
        
        this was a barter thing, i worked for this. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:52
you're like our own Rose Dawson! -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 17:34 3
- where is Billy Zane? i wouldn't be so hasty.... -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:36 2
  - the crash of the housing market hit his interests hard - chuckles Jul 18, 17:37 1
    - Spoiler Guy! Strikes again! -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:41
nice! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 17:34
I want to see the video after the cable is pulled. Also I see you have a flying stick. Did you get to fly it for a minute? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:27 5
- i have a few more videos i'll post - one is of a turn we did where you go on steep angle and sort of pivot the plane around the tip of the wing. - Andie Jul 18, 17:29 4
  - Wow!! Do you get any training first or is it like drivers training where the pilot can take back control at any time? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:32 3
    - sorry ,no i didn't control during the turn, just while flying straight, and no, no training. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:33 2
      - more - there are dual controls, if one of us moves a lever the other's lever does the same thing, so the pilot never really loses control, he could - Andie Jul 18, 17:34 1
        
        that is really awesome. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:35
