Great Al :!:

That's a beauty. Bet you feel better now that you posess your glider. Too bad that experience had to happen.

Steer clear of that sink-hole from now on.

We're planning on Saturday or Sunday, or both. Some good clouds today, hope they last for this weekend.

Please let Martin know and anyone else.

Hi Al and Sam!!

The colors on that Falcon are about the same as on my own Falcon (and Little Hawk). Here's a photo of both of them at Torrey last year:

Little Hawk is in the foreground (with prototype strings instead of wires) and my Falcon 195 is in the background.

And here's a picture of me flying my Falcon at Torrey last November. I flew for over 4 hours, and it was fantastic!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

P.S. It's great that you've got your glider, but be sure to only fly under the safe supervision of a good instructor. There are lots of dangers that you may not realize, so please stick with a good instructor!!!
