PG & HG Towing the weekend of July 21/22

We are planning to do some road towing the weekend of July 21st & 22nd.

Sean Buckner is bringing his Sling Machine down to the Tucson area that weekend. We initially are planning to tow in San Pedro Valley just east of San Manuel.

Sean charges $25 for the day for a solo pilot (PG or HG, as many flight as you can get in one day), $125 for a PG tandem sled ride & $225 for a PG tandem thermal ride. He has to bring extra equipment if he is going to do any HG towing. If you are interested, please let us know so he can plan accordingly.

He likes for each pilot to have their own tow bridles.

He likes to take the tandems up early in the day before the thermals get strong. Early in the day is also good for low air time pilots to get out and get some air time.

If you have any questions, please post them on the forum or feel free to call me.

I think this will be a good chance to bring our neighbors, friends and/or co-workers that are interested in seeing what we do.

This is a link to some of Sean's Videos. It has some HG towing in it as well.

Spread the word, the more people the better.

Just a reminder, we plan to be flying east of San Manuel this weekend (July 21st & 22nd). I just talked to Sean and he is planning to be in San Manuel Saturday morning @ 6:00AM. Sean had some trouble with his truck and had to setup the Sling Machine into another truck. He indicated that he does not have the HG setup ready. He can do HG foot launch.

Lets all go have some fun flying this weekend.
Initial meeting coordinates: N32.592091°, W-110.607709°. Initial radio frequency: 151.925.

Post if you are planning to go.

I'm planning to go both days.
