Re: Weak links
Tad, you nailed it. Our sport doesn't deserve to have the ball dropped when it comes to our safety. The USHPA is not taking things seriously, just another day for them.

Re: Weak links
Jim has pointed out those that weren't there have no say about what happened to Zach. Jim was there and offers little. Does anyone know if Zach's primary release failed? Or did the WL break before he had time to activate his release? What kind of release did he have on his glider? Both primary and s...
Re: landing
I FL trained at LMFP and really never gave it much thought about why landing on your wheels was not encouraged. Instead, landing upright was required as far as I know. To move from their small hill to the big hill you had to demonstrate landing upright on your feet. Think of the time saved during tr...

Re: Weak links
My bad! I've read a lot here but missed that one. That video popped up when I was looking for Dacron.

Re: LMFP Release Dysfunction
Tad, Stuart sells pre-cut weak links only. No... For small or large quantities of line please contact us with your request and a custom price quote. I'd emailed him and his reply was that he only sold the pre-cut ones. I saw what you have quoted above. Is this just dacron rope or fishing line? If s...

Re: LMFP Release Dysfunction
Tad, Stuart sells pre-cut weak links only. Price seems fair....60ea. 20" for $13.20
Looked at the GetOff primary release and your equipment photos. A lot going on there for this rookie.
I can assume my LMFP secondary is ok, or should I keep my knife in my mouth?

Re: LMFP Release Dysfunction
Tad, I'm an owner of one of these LMFP AT Releases. I have yet to use it because I stopped my training until I have a clear head about releasing safely. That being said, I've got one headache trying to sort things out. Please tell me what I need to do to continue my training.

http://www.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=28763 Aerotowing Concern I don't know why GroundEffect bothered to bring this issue up or why any of you muppets are trying to address it.
