Gentlemen, I REALLY apologize! I don't know what could have possibly gotten into me...It must have been a moment of weakness. I humbly beg your forgiveness for "watering down" our ranks with such "riff-raff", even if he is a good stick! I'm going up to visit Dan next weekend and, while he's busy

Once at a worlds F3B event the wind was at Joes back...not good for building any tension. Joe launched and put the glider over on its wingtip about 5 to 10 feet above the deck... Tapping... tapping not not much so as to not reeling a bunch of line but just enough tension to keep things working. It
