Joe, you don't care for or support the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association; this thread is about support for that organization.

Re: instructors and other qualified pilot fiends
And now I see that Tiki has a little something to say: http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59671 Tiki critiques the USHPA I figure that the folks that care about the future of "this" sport need to get it in gear and start doing a LOT more of the same things and expecting a LOT better...

Steve Pearson - 2019/05/09 00:10:32 UTC Re: It about what is easiest to learn These comments are misinformed and useless.

Re: open phones
But it's kinda fun to learn how to drive this stuff and debunk the manufacturers' promotional material. Fun and also frustrating, similar to what I am dealing with on these stupidly designed RC helicopters. Ball links where they don't need to be, threaded links that should be turnbuckles, redundant...
Re: bridles
Any recommendations on the type of knot to use when attaching the third point of a two ended tow bridle to the hang loop or a cavalry soldier whose principal weapon was a carbine, Dan?
