Just wanted to pass this on, see if anyone had tried this since last year....
We tried flying handlaunch this last week at the DARTS monthly contest, discus and zip start for the javelin guys. We have some kinks to work out, but for an experiment it worked pretty well. Shagging a zip start in a ten minute window was tough, and I'm definitely feeling it today.. It's been 2 years since I've flown any HLG, and I found I missed it. If I thought I could go out and do this every couple club contests, I would do it - any of you? Also, has anyone else tried this as a club event, do any of you non-discus fliers see this as some times substitute? Compared to not flying HLG even? I don't see this as a replacement for DLG any more than Nostalgia would overtake F3J. I know this is almost a troll thread, but we've had some positive responses, and I'm just wondering if the time is right for some kind of old timer HLG events.
