Thanks for watching!

It was a little challenging, especially with the high altitude and slope of the LZ.

To fly through a series of waypoints and land. The challenge is in first of all staying up using only rising air, no motor, and second of all doing it faster than anyone else (it's a race!).

@@SoarswithSwords ok, thanks

In 1976, I added some wheels made from some small plastic skid pallet doughnuts. The only other wheels available had a cross-section of a football and would split. My hang-glide instructor wanted me to go into business with him to market them, but I didn't think the market was big enough. 20 years later a California company basically did just that, and then I realized my mistake.

I always thought wheels were kind of sissy and good pilots didn't need them. I flew avidly for 12 years and only bent my control bar once landing on top in a rotor.

@@flytavo I was really good at landing. In 12 years, I only fell down 3-4 times. The trickiest landing was on a 15' deep beach at Ray Hooks house directly below the launch at Makapu, Oahu. It was a 90 degree crosswind so get slowed down while getting blown sideways, throw all your weight to the windward side and flare. That was fun.
