Thank you☺️

👋

Thank you☺️

Thanks! Yes my husband is my boyfriend😁

Thank you😊

Ya my plan is to put a ladder on it. I’m copying my pilot friend’s rack system. Super secure! Once I have the full glider transporting system I’ll share that here too😉

Thank you so much😁

Thank you! No flying but it was still fun🤩

Thank you so much😊

Funny you say that because I’ve been in touch with Jonny and that’s what I might be doing soon. I had a weird AT tandem experience a little over a year ago so I want to overcome that fear. He said they can take the training as slow as I wish to so I really appreciate his understanding and flexibility. He has a wing that might work for me too but he needs to keep one for training reason so we plan on discussing my option when I go there.

Omg Erika!🤣🤣🤣 well let’s be real, it’s pretty sad and frustrating situation to be honest. But there is a reason why I installed this thing on now..Nothing is confirmed so I can’t share the details here yet. I’ll DM you my situation. I can’t afford a nice brand new glider. But finding a good condition used single surface glider for my size is also tricky. I’m in touch with some people, something might get worked out. Thank you for popping in😚

Thank you so much! I miss flying. Meanwhile I figure out way to get back in the air, this much I can work on. I appreciate you always cheering me on!

Thank you sir! Video editing itself has become my hobby😊

The glider I was flying is Wills Wing’s Alpha 180. You can purchase from Wills Wing.

I’ll be mounting a ladder on the roof racks and then strapping a glider on it. I’m looking for a used Falcon 140. Probably can’t afford anything really new so I have to be open to which model. Thank you so much for your advice to reach out to local RC glider club. I’ll look into it!

No problem, it’s also a fun side hobby when the weather is less flyable. 😊

@@nanoraflyz It seems that used Falcon 145 are rare compared to other sized gliders. I guess one size bigger is ideal for most pilots. I hope you find a good one that suits you. ☺ If I get into this sport, I'll need a smaller one too.

@@HikeCampSky There are a few -145s around. I know of two out here on the West Coast.

@@SVSky Thanks, Takeo - That's hopeful!

Yep that’s my plan, to get a used glider for my size and flight skill level. Actively looking.

Thank you. It is so strange to be called “you are so young” in this sport when I’m almost 40… I’m in the younger side of the average age of pilots in this sport. We really need more younger generation getting into this thing… I always hoped that my contents to reach as wide and random range population as possible but I don’t think they have. They stay within the flying community.

That is a very true and important thing to remember. While it is never our intention to have a flight where the reserve parachute is needed the reason we fly with it is to survive unexpected scenarios. Thank you for this message.

Thank you Jake☺️

lol, we’ll see the wind is intimidating at this site. Once I get more familiar with different types of wind there would be a good progress.

Thank you so much! Hoping to share more😁

Thank you. Feel like body keeps aging but my mind is like 9yr old still. That external and internal age gap has been problematic at times but overall kept my life interesting.

Jockey’s Ridge Stare park in North Carolina USA!

Ya that sounds like a good workout, amazing!!

Thank you! 39yr old body with 9yr old brain!!(my brain needs a little catching up to do but it is more entertaining to have a ton of kid’s mind in life.) Yes, keep going, keep evolving is the plan😉

Thank you so much! however the way’s be I’m stuck with hang gliding rest of my life😁

👍😁

This is how you learn to handle the glider in high winds. The rope is there to keep you from getting turtled.

I know it looks crazy but I felt safe with the instructor. Also I’m not completely a newbie holding a glider. I don’t think they’d do this to - very beginner student. Really valuable and cool experience!

Thank you☺️ beach flying seems so fun. I really wanna try it. But with anything, and especially with this sport, will take the baby steps and see how it goes!

Thank you! Ya I’ll see😎

Kitty Hawk is where Steve’s hg career took off. It is kind of nice to restart at where he started.

Thank you!!

You know I will😉

I wanna visit!!!! I wanna meet you and Masayo-san, also hang out with Erika. Fly… More authentic Japanese food there i bet too…

I’m actually not sure. If they do allow you have to be a club member to fly there.

I appreciate you for saying that. We all want to show our achievement, I do too. But to keep this sport alive and for people to do it safely, having a realistic expectation and planning are all so important. Some people just imagine they get to fly off the mountain after a few class is not the way it goes. If you can’t commit to the process it requires, you are out. But if you can commit, you might get to experience what it’s like to fly like a bird.

Thank you! I hear beginner time is the best time in flying. I agree and I’m still a novice pilot. I always want to remember my first mountain flight. It keeps me focused and help me to stay in that learning mode.. Gotta get back out there soon.
