I had forgotten how much I loved the sound of The Gibson SG snarl. Old school stuff.

Strap your left arm to your side Chris, and let her rip.

I got it bad, really Bad. I am starting to Overdose on this thinking about Flying. Thinking about Flying has gotten My Goat something awful. i so want to regain My place in the Sky. I so Yearn to be able to Fly to Cloud Base again. For Flying is where I truly belong.

I realize that You Guys have not Met Me. But trust Me if, and when You do You will like Me. For at Heart I am like what all of You are. I simply love to Fly, you must think about how cool Free-Flight is. After all it's Free!

I so want to Play My SG like Angus Plays His SG! Heck when I Fly My 158 Predator. I so want to Fly it like Angus Plays His SG!

I really do feel that the Predator 158 is truly one of the Best Flex-Wing Glider ever conceived.

"I Love to FLY"
I do too Chris, because I've been flying with my dad since I was born in 1946, but the last time I flew my own plane was in 1971, but I do it vicariously , through film and music, and my truck.
Here's something you could do, for pure enjoyment, Put on some good headphones, put on some really great flying videos, (John still makes the best I think) with good music backdrops, then turn the sound off, strap your left arm down to your side, get out your acoustic, and play your own music video.
You're the pilot, you know and remember the feeling when you're flying with your hands,
you're the musician, you know how control the notes with your hands.
Don't forget your legs. Good, aggressive walking on a tread mill (where we can hold on) will get your legs ready for anything in the future.
Staying "In Tune" is a good thing, and showing someone else is a blessing.

Well; I really must do some Mental Flying. At present, due to My dislocating My Left Left Arm 20 Days ago. I still have Pain in my shoulder. I am unable to raise my arm above My shoulder.

But I now have a brand New Kali Helmet. What a Great company Kali Protectives is. I believe that They produce a fine Helmet. What I would have given to have been wearing this Kali Hemet when I pounded 6 and a half Years ago. Instead of wearing My Kali, I was wearing a total piece of Garbage Helmet. If any of You would like to know what piece of trash Helmet that I was wearing on March 28th 2010. please call Me; 925-497-1059. For I do not want to be sued by some unethical Lawyer over spreading the Truth regarding how poorly the Helmet of the manufacturer of My Helmet performed.

So if anyone cares to learn of a Helmet that I give a D-Minus to just Give Me a Call; 925-497-1059.

I want to say on this public Forum that in My opinion Kali Protectives is a great Company! Check this out: My Kalisheba extra Large Helmet was too tight. The side sides really pinched My ears over. The problem with My7 skull being too large is that My Brain is Extra, Extra Large. Well being that My Brain is so Large, My skull is very large. But I have talked to two Guys at Kali Protectives, Max and Brad. Well They took it upon themselves to correct my Problem. I received a new Helmet Today . This Helmet fits nicely. Thank You Kali!

In My opinion, well My thoughts are that Kali-Ptotectives is a great Company!

Don't Try This At Home

But you might call it "perfect Practice" in a 30 year old, "Totally King Post 2.0",
'True Hang Glider' .

"mentally flying", mentally playing Chess, or we could on line, mentally working on your car, mentally figuring out new chords on your guitar, mentally figuring out a building project , It's ALL cool, Keeping the mind and hands busy, especially with "masters" crafts, is most important. You know 'how' to fly, but you're just looking for a playing field.

I saw some of these Gliders in Telluride, and they, at first looked kinda odd, they were replicas of the
Wright Flyer sorta, but once in the air they were beautiful fliers.
