That would be way too much excitement for me. You could see by his shadow that the guy was no more than 10 -12 feet above the rocks during one road flyby. That's way too much excitement. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

We need a new word; this should be called "soreing."

So, how much surface wind would be needed for them to use ridge lift
to climb? It depends on how fat you are, how slick you and your suit is, the suit's airfoils, your flying positions, etc. But with best L/D's in the neighborhood of 2.5/1 @ ~60mph, other factors aside It would still seem you would need a pretty stiff breeze... -Paul
