Not to reinvent the wheel.. just replace it.
Not to do it like U$hPa.. do it better.
Truth, education and instruction.
High level instruction after truth and education: PDMC.
Army Ranger para-level instruction.
Limited scope/field of static tow, stable wings.
Hot wings not allowed. No competition.
Competition kills. u$hPa's failure is that it embraces both.
That's where a lot of the money goes @ u$hPa.
No paid flying trips for Jim Zeisit and others.
He was in Brazil on the Member's dime when I drove out to Colorado once
looking for a wing.
H3 at the time and he sold me a big o' pink Axis over the phone for $2,000.
He wanted tax on top of that round figure and I refused to pay it.
JZ was stubborn on the phone, through his green team employee.
I was thinking about the good life JZ was having at my expense and started to walk.
I loved that Axis. I guess I was ready for it but JZ didn't know me.
Don't know who ate the tax.
Ok back on track. No competitions. No paid junkets.
Low prices instruction. Quality static tow instruction. Stable floaters. No hot rods.
Schools sell lots of safe wings for large influx of new pilots happy to just tow in calm conditions... often.
Relaxed flying after work. Who needs mini wings scorching down a rock face, anyway?
Oh yea. People that can join u$hPa, cause that's what THEY do.
Wills Wing might be interested in getting back to PG's if they were only making the stable, safe-r ones.
Should be possible, right? Correct me if I'm wrong..
But USPGA could be USPHA! Ha!
No need to discriminate with a safer wing at a backyard sled ride .
We have big backyards in the midwest.
Also easy access to a central training center for 85% of the country's population.
Basically, a dusted off FREEUSHGA idea I had years ago.
Large, cheap infrastructure. 160 acre ex-municipal airport. Private owned.
And here's the kicker.. its a regional PG jump center.
I had the airport lined up years ago, and a couple instructor's lined up, (HG)
after too hot in Florida. Had a tug to boot. A place to camp.
Monkey wrench somewhere... Blindrodie lies, and the deal fell through.
Like u$hPa, Blindrodie didn't like competition even though he couldn't organize
and run his own stolen flight park worth a crap and opportunity was lost.
I hate to sound bitter. The flying community withered under Blindrodie.
Who even flies in KC area anyway.
From the response on this forum to obvious trolling to find out.. no-one.
Anyway, great location for centralized training. Cheap camping.
Train trainers to web out for other backyard sled-dites
So I bought a static rig in N. Carolina a good while back and never went to get it.
Last I heard, it was still there waiting on me.
Somebody go get it and it could maybe work to start the first training center...
What the u$hPa never did... training..
u$hPa has always been behind when it comes to certification.
All paperwork and no skin in the game to actually make pilots.
It's the instructors..stupid.
Spend the money on instructors and not MGF's favorite insider deal.
Build pilots, not corporations.
Not to interfere with u$hPa's appetite for killing completions and speed screaming mountain scorching.
Just happy, relaxing after work sled rides in my back yard.
I'm in for it if I can corral people better than me to help put it together.
You know who you are.. super hero's ..
Out of time at the lib@rry
Evening sledders X a million
