Team Challenge 2011 - Day 4
Yesterday: Early rise to go into Georgia to pick up my new wing. Mike Barber, the world record for distance in a Hang-Glider helped me put the leading edges in and inspect it. Dennis Pagen, the guy who writes the books on Hang-Gliding and Para-Gliding, assisted with the setup and inspection. Dave Hopkins (distance record holder in New England) advised me on the transition to topless gliders. Mike Barber then gave me a lesson on transitioning. Relaxed for a while and waited for better conditions, then a 30 minute sunset flight where I couldn't get down faster than the sun! Excellent day! Only at Team Challenge can you get this kind of help and support.
