This was my first trip to King and only my 5th and 6th flights on the Mill. It was also the first time I had slope launched the Mill or launch in
anything but 20+ winds. I am still just getting use to this amazing wing!! I only signed up for the Comp to donate to the cause. Maybe next year
I will get serious. (NOT LoL!!)
This trip was a family trip that I was able to talk the wife into bringing my glider along. I was staying in Idaho Falls at the outlaws house and
was only able to get away to fly two days. I was able to go anywhere, everywhere, nowhere and back again. I had a lot of fun just flying all
over the place and then going back to land at John Kangas's place. (King Mt. Glider Park)
What an amazing place to fly

Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body.
But rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out and broken, shouting
"Holy Crap, WHAT A RIDE !!"
Strange!! I just played it logged out of my account and it's playing fine? _________________ First Flight 1979 H4 , Cirrus 3, UP Mosquito, Delta Wing Streak, Moyes XS, Exxtacy 160, Rotor Vulto, MILLENNIUM #8

That's odd? I logged out of my youtube account and it plays just fine??? Maybe it is because I am in Calgary Canada right now and it isn't blocked here? I will have to check when I get back to Vegas tomorrow and see what's up.

Go to the end of the video above and then click on the video inside the screen that is 5:49 min long. That's the best video of this flying machine.
Awesome video and really nice landing coming into that tight LZ.
Thanks HangDog!!!
I am practicing for a Crestline trip. May have to wear football cleats to not role off the end _________________ First Flight 1979 H4 , Cirrus 3, UP Mosquito, Delta Wing Streak, Moyes XS, Exxtacy 160, Rotor Vulto, MILLENNIUM #8

Terrific vid, Rolla!
I'm sure Shadd would love / hate to watch it !!
It motivates me to get my SWIFT flying ... and to get my lazy arse up to King one of these days.
Now if I could just buy a new spine .. haven't seen one for sale in the classifieds lately. _________________ Happy landings,

Yeah I was thinking about Shadd Glad he was able to get a new wing
Get that Swift done
I was told by a few that it had been over 12yrs since a Mill had been to King .......that will change for sure
