Default Gary Mitchell is a ****in' Freak!!!!

Hey Gary,

now that's the way to extend your flight time.....and be comfortable!

Five hours was my limit in my old Sensor 510 with a Bennet pod (I am
dating myself here...) Of course I did not drink anything either.
This was back in the days of B.C. (Before Camelbacks)

Blue skies!

Nope.......give me 3-axis and 40:1.........oh, and have you diver
drivers figured out how to pee up there yet....)

Brad. I've already got that taken care of. I use this:

You can either use the leg bag or let the tube run down your pant leg and out
the cuff of your pants. I use the latter when I think I can get away
with it.

Hi Ray,

yeah, the 510-A model was really fun to fly.......my first one was an
old bagged out 165 I bought from a friend. It was really easy to turn
cuz the sail was so loose! But you still had to flare it right.

I bought the last 510-A 160 that Seedwings made, they tried to talk me
into a "B" model but I wasn't so sure about a hang glider without a
keel pocket...)....the new one had VG so it was the best of both
worlds: bag and blade wing all in one!

Those glass tips are common now.....we used to seen as
non-conformists!

Now enjoying the Apis!

Cheers,
