US Hawks Hang Gliding Association

I know that I am not a Poser. For if I were I would load My Predator up onto My Truck. Then I would Drive to a Flying Site. Not to Fly but if I were a Poser. I would simply just look the Part. But I could not even do some Posing. No I am not legal to Drive. Losing My CDL is just one of the Pitfalls that I have encountered since When I Pounded March 28th 2010. It took Me Two decades of Flying until I Finally Pounded. But with Me, it is not that I pounded. I mean I really Pounded. But that was Twelve and a half Years ago. This is now. Here I sit, I am on the verge of Flying once again. Yes first I will Fly a Circus Tent Sized WW 330 Condor. Then I will Fly John's North-Wing T-Two. Then I will Fly My awesome Predator One Fifty Eight, what a Glider the Predator is! Look, also there will be Film of My Flights on the Condor, the T-Two, and the Predator.

Well I expect to get some {PUSH-BACK} from saying this. But in spite of what I have heard, that Flying Cross Country is an incorrect type of Flying. I have heard that Flying XC is more dangerous than simply flying in the Air-Space over Your local site, preferably a Coastal site. I will also provide some Video of My Flying an XC Route.

On another Site I had some Push-Back from a Pilot regarding how Dangerous, and Unsafe a Predator is, and what a Dinosaur the Predator is. Well it always seemed to be the case when we all were in the drivers Rig heading up to launch. The Topless Pilots always talked about their superior Topless Gliders XC Performance. It was always on the way up to launch in the vehicle, or while we were setting up our Gliders. I never had to listen to these Topless Glider Pilots go on and on about their King posted Glider Vanquishing, outdistancing Super Ships.

Here is how I explain the Success that i had flying My Predator. I did so well overwhelmly because I always flew My Predator. not because I am some sort of a Super Pilot. But because because I flew My Predator.

PREDATOR REALITIES:

What mAKES THE Predator such an awesome Platform for a Pilot to Fly XC, is that The Predator has an exceptional ability to stay-Up. And all of Us know that if You are on the Ground, "YOUR DAY IS OVER!"

FLYING;

Please do not get Me Wrong, any Flying, weather You are Flying along say the Cliffs at Your Local site. You are simply making a Sled Run down to the Ground. Of if You are Flying Miles, and Miles XC. Heck You are Flying, is not Flying, Any type of Flying Awesome?

I so hope that the Day will come when I will once again Fly My Predator. I believe that I have said, this really is to all of You who have been so encouraging in My situation. That Situation is to give it the Good-Fight regarding My resurrection. Yes I am undergoing an effort to reclaim what was what I was. I am not greedy. I just want to be what I was. So stand By. I will one day have Video of My Flying. Flying a Condor, a NorthWing T-Twom, also after John gives My Predator an IRAN I will be flying My Great Glider =, My Predator 158!

So Yes It still hurts to hear from My sister How back when I w3as in a Coma, My inept, Charlton, Quack Doctor said I would never walk again, or tha5t my Mental capabilities would not exceed a Potato's. Maybe My Father was correct when He said; "When You are back on Your feet. You should go find that Doctor and beat his a**! Boy was My Father Mad! So what I am saying here might bear a bit of being repitatits. But You can just let go any irritation You might have at Me. So just chalk up what I am saying as a result of My having sheared too many Brain Axions.

Guys You know I have been Playing My SG a lot. When I told My Osteopath that I was Playing My SG. Susan said that She thought it was a very good thing that I was Playing My Guitar. It rezall has been a good thing for Me to do as I needed to restore My Left hand. I have spent much time going through the Pentatonic Scale. Yes it has been Me and My SG along with MY Metronome going Click, Click, Click.

I am even experimenting with attempting to put together an sudo original song, albeit There is more than a Wee Bit of Plagiarism involved. Heck I am enjoying Myself. I call this little ditty; "A PREDATOR PILOT WILL SURVIVE.

I have gone, Yes I will own it I experienced a Severe Brain injury. But that was Twelve and a half Years ago. This is here and now. I refuse to dwell in the past. i am committed to My future. The day will come when I will post a Post-Flight Video. Yea Baby!

What really did hurt was when a Pilot friend of Mine told Me; "Chris, get Real You will never Fly again" This was not some inept Kaiser Doctor to running His Mouth. This was a friend, an HG Pilot at that. Yes there is a pecking order in effect with People, and it sucks!

So right now I believe that I will drop down on the Floor, and begin doing this: I will be on the Floor, then I will while using controlled deceive Moves. I will get back up to a standing Posistion. I will then Repeat, and repeat, over and over again.

Contralateral exercises do so much for your balance.

For me, keeping my eyes straight forward when I walk, especially at night, is important because when I turn my head from side to side, I find my balance is totally disrupted.

Having a daily regiment improves discipline and confidence.

As a pilot, "check lists" are mandatory.

When doing crunches make sure that your back is flat on the floor before starting up. If you can slide your hand under your lower back, that's wrong, it will put a serious strain on it.
Remember your calf muscles.

Build up your core. It's one of the most important things you can do.
