Eric left a comment for Nicholas Windsor"welcome Nick! I'm so envious of your full-scale experience... I plan to take a ride someday here in Boulder. The gliders go up every day here and you can almost always see one soaring over the city. Feel free to post pictures of your S-126…"

hi guys, I'm going to downgrade this website to Ning Mini which costs $19 a year but limits the functionality. Very sorry to do this because I love this website, but it's really too expensive for me to keep going as we are.About six months ago Ning raised the price from $20 a month to $25 and the expense has been weighing on my conscience for a long time... if I were on the hook for $10 a month I'd probably let it ride. So next week I will call Ning and see if their prices are negotiable.Just…See More

Profile Information
- about me
- I moved from Florida to Boulder Colorado for health reasons in '07 and fixed up my old S1-26 DAW handlaunch glider. I'm having lots of fun learning to fly again after many years without... I run an Internet company so I can take a break to fly when conditions are right.
I'm looking forward to getting to know glider people in Boulder and building more advanced gliders. I enjoy building these social networking websites in my job and thought it would be fun to put this one together.
Built FSD's Kaze after converting my kid's Flying Eagle as a warm up.
- city, state
- Boulder, CO
- country
- United States
- how long have you been flying and what types of gliders?
- On and off for 25 years, mostly off. Slope.
Until recently, I had only flown two channel gliders and have relatively little experience interspersed over a period of 28 years. Started out with a one channel balsa rudder-only model before getting a robbe two channel which did not work out very well - too heavy and cumbersome. It wasn't until I built the D.A.W. Schweizer 1-26 HLG Foamie Trainer that I really started to learn and have fun.
I built the TG-3 about 11 years ago when Dave was still manufacturing them... flew it a little bit in Kentucky on a small dam and then moved to Guatemala where I found some great hills and had my first real big lift soaring.
Moved to Florida and flew it on an old garbage dump park hill a few times and then it sat unused for years. I just repaired it and have had a blast slope soaring it around Boulder.
- your first glider? your favorite? building now or next?
- Love my D.A.W. Schweizer TG-3 Foamie - and putting together an electric easyglider now, my first four axis plane. Now building the FSD Kaze.
- other interests
- parenting, hiking, and reading
- how did you find RCGliderAndSailplane.com?
- i created it
