Im not crazy,I know better than to jump off from high ground or buildings
Its going to be from a slope (much like the height of the hill where they tested those Chanute Gliders).To me Im satisfied with just seven-ten
second flights.I understand the need to land bum first
BTW,those wooden beams you see under the glider in the fhe first pic is what keeps the frame proped up.
