Shadd was beaming after his flights.
Now we'd better go fly some mountains!

It was really awesome to see Shadd so happy, and so excited!

It was also awesome to see him top-of-the-stack. It's no secret he's a big boy, and as he always says, gravity sucks some of us harder than others.

But when he launched and climbed up above everyone almost instantly... that was a magic moment!

I salute you Shaddo mosh

(let's go fly!)

Stoked for you, Shaddo! Is that going to be your new wing or were you just demoing it? Very sharp wing!

Hey Bob,

I purchased a " Demo " wing from Ryan and WW the day I flew one....simpley put....It's the best hang glider made, flys more like a sailplane than a hang glider, I love it!!!
Mine is red bottom surface, with a white trailing edge stripe, and full on carbon race set up mosh

Blue Skies,

Shaddo

Com'on isoar, You know me....not much of a picture posting guy.
I don't actually get my glider until next week, I'll post some then.
Maybe I'll ressurect the " show us your wang " thread.

It"s not as cool of a design as your new wing....but it's awesome!

Ryan certainly is all the above, he also recognizes your worth and what you have done and will do for the HG community,

what a privilege to have both of you as friends, you will go far with your new bird, furthermore you deserve the best glider out there and you have got it ! i know you will work hard learning the characteristics of this new glider and as always do well, as you do with all aspects of your life thumbsup thumbsup thumbsup

Congrats Shaddo, She's a real beauty! love the video too.

So tell me, where do you think you'll take her on your first official flight adventure? Randolph perhaps??

Enjoy Shaddo

Yes! HangDog,

After a half dozen flights in perfect conditions on the SS, and a coulpe lite wind landings in the "big field"..... Randolph will be the first mountain site I fly.
I'm switching to a new Lite wieght harness that Ryan is building for me too! thumbsup

I get to become a student again!

Nothing wrong with being a student again. That's just life my friend.

If you can, please take some footage of your Randolph flight. Ya know before I had my wreck out there I was planning on flying Randolph and a few other sites so I always look forward to footage from Randolph or any other mountain flights.

Yeah you'll have to take some still shots of your new wing since I heard it's a different color then the demo wing.

Do me one favor which I'm sure you heard it already but remember Pilot, please don't get in a hurry with that wing. They've been known to bite back hard.

In the future I would love to see you set a new distance record too, that would be sweeeeeet!! I'll be the driver!.

Take care Shaddo and FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY brother!.

Mr. Green thumbsup
