Jim Deck In 1975, a short film, Dawn Flight, featuring great flying
sequences of real sailplanes was nominated for an Oscar for best live action
short film. With the advent of video tape, VHS version of this film became
available. Only the price, $49.95, kept me from purchasing this 15
For the past two weekends in a row a rather informal group of fliers has

I've been there too Al! A bungee's life is kinda hard and they don't give
too much warning before letting go. The last time I got hit, the clevis
broke and left a sharp edge. That edge ripped my shirt and drew blood where
it hit me in the gut.
It's worse when a bungee is being used by slopers.
Thank you for the incredible response.

A few years ago I built a Klingberg wing. Although I intended it for slope
soaring, I chose to use my trusty upstart for the initial test flights.
After a few hand tosses seemed to show that the CG and elevons were set up

I have been chuckling over the high start mishaps that have been posted
after this thread was started. I think that I have seen similar events
to many of those reported. I remember one contest where my flying
buddy's beautiful 2M Sagitta was dragged to death after a high speed
stall on launch.
I used to fly alone allot. One day, I was flying my now nostalgic
Sundancer from a histart. Now, I had developed a rhythm of turn on
transmitter, turn on receiver, pull back, hook up and launch. That day, I
couldn't seem to get more than 5 minutes and wondered if the plane was out
of trim.
At a contest some 25 years ago a thunderstorm blew in which caused us
suspend flying. After the storm passed and the skies cleared we decided to
resume the contest. As one hi start was being stretched for a launch and a
second had a bird on the way up there was a lightning strike in the woods
