Nevada? All desert, cowboys and indians init (sorry
indiginous native persons). Is it really modern enuff
there to have something as advanced as a gliding site?

Where are the flame wars and flying wing bashing threads?


They're all huddled up there in Minden, CA trying
to
stay warm :P

The flying wing bashing stopped when people realized
the Genesis 2 is a damned good little machine. I have
no desire to return to a boom-snapper. In an off field
landing at Hobbs this year, my nose wheel dug in and
caused the ship to pull to the left. Next thing I knew,
I was facing the other direction. Absolutely no damage
and I ground-looped at 45 knots! Bob Salvo came up
with a wing root mod that solves the climb problem.

She's a hummer,

ROFLMAO!!!

And Minden is also in Louisiana, Iowa, Nebraska, West Virginia,
Missouri, Texas, Ontario (Canada - maybe that's the one he meant with
the CA), and North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany).

Maybe staying away from gliders with a nose wheel would work, too? Or
that landed slower than 45 knots?

once on the ground

Oh Really!

The PW-5 has a nosewheel and can land slower than 45 knots.

Well now Mr. Greenwell, I guess it's easy to criticize people when
you need 18 meters and a gas powered thermal behind your seat
to stay in the air. You probably have three variometers, a GPS,
Glide computer and Themi in your ship also.

Do you actually do any of the flying, or are you just along for the
ride?

Well, as I've heard, "The only substitute for wingspan is TALENT,
but you can always buy more span."
PW-5's rule the skies.
HA HA HA HA HA :P

OK I'll bite....

PW5's bite the big one....

Stupid little glider with low performance compared to current crop of
13M gliders offered.

The only reason they fly is they are so ugly the ground rejects them.

Ah yes, the Genesis - the "flying wing" which just happens to have a
tail.

Kind of like the straight man who just happens to fool around with
other guys.
