Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

I didn't come to this forum to exchange insults with the easy targets on this site. - Nah, you came to this forum to push an agenda with which I believe all our participants are in alignment ... You "believe"? Maybe you should verify that with your most coddled participants like Jonathan ...

Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

As I type this post, I'm laying in the shade of my glider on the beach at Dockweiler resting up after a few flghts. P.S. I used to look to guys like Rob Kells, Steve Pearson, Mike Meier, Felipe Amunategui, Tracy Tillman, John Heiney, Peter Birren, Bob Kuczewski as likely allies. There's a well-known...

Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

I predict you'll continue to whine and complain and call people names without any discernible plan to actually fix anything. You'll still be in your own self-made box. But don't take my word for it. Come back and read this entire topic a year from now to see if I was right or not. About what? See a...

Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

Tad, you "ALWAYS wind up with exhaustion, headaches, blurred vision, extra depression" because you're desperately trying to prove you're right when you're wrong. It's like you're trying to prove that "pi" is exactly "3" because you want a 4th grade answer to a 7th grade...

Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

Tad, I've had to deal with a lot of dishonest, untrustworthy, and even despicable people in my long effort to gain fairness for hang glider pilots at Torrey and elsewhere. I've developed an approach (you might call it a "tactic" or a "strategy") that tends to give me one of two t...

Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

I went to the FAA with a couple hundred pages ... How's that been working out for ya with respect to the only other site ... We can expect that every jurisdiction is going to be different. But each person reading this topic can make an effort with some of the sites in their area. And you got Dennis...

Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

Both of our forums have major hang gliding web footprints, are impossible to miss when looking into their relevant issues. I just did a google search for "hang gliding", and US Hawks was on page 12. I got to page 40 without finding KiteStrings (that's when I gave up). Google now plays a l...

Yes. Thanks.

If, as much as Tad hates me, he can encourage folks to get involved with on breaking up USHPA's monopoly, there's no better endorsement.

Let's get to work!

Re: Breaking USHPA's Monopoly Control of Flying Sites

On one hand, you regularly beat your chest about how "Team Kite Strings" demolishes people: Team Kite Strings totally fucking demolished him ... We DEMOLISHED that little motherfucker ... and on the other hand you write: We have 21 Members plus one Guest ... Think we have some critical mas...
