A few safety considerations..

A lot of us showed up for the chute clinic. Good to go. Tremendously informative event. What about annual inspections? Show of hands of pilots who do this annualy? Thought so. I've done it once before in my 8 yrs of flying. Recently had both my divers checked out, cleaned and new side wires/nose wires. Sure enough, nice little ding in right crossbar of Falcon. I'm getting it replaced, and the inspections cost a few bucks. (Az Airfoils Inc. should consider going public)

It's also a great opportunity to check out the gliders without the "air horny" factor involved on launch. Had a sweet soaring flight on the A three weeks ago. Randy and Jason pointed out that I was hanging high above the crossbar. You guys were correct, all I had to do was adjust my angle of dangle line. Not something I considered on launch when its crankin' 20+ and dead soarable.

My two cents. Looking forward to a great season.
