Its been an enlightening and entertaining afternoon with Gin talking about the 'future' of paragliding and paraglider design and more amusingly his past and more recent exploits (:-\) on all types of flying machines.
I do wonder where we are going with this sport when probably the worlds most experienced designer, test pilot, competition pilot and biggest manufacturer says the best thing for paragliding is to build gliders that fly down and that the current trend in 2-liners will take paragliding towards its decline, in a similar manner to which hang gliding has dropped in popularity.
But aside from the doom-and-gloom future; the ceremonies, parties and entertainments for world cup are now planned and hopefully we will manage to appease Mr.X with the general logistics and launch arrangements! ;-)
Korean telecom systems are remaining a challenge as regards live-tracking, which in the eyes of some employers may be a good thing since productivity at the desks of pilots at home hits an all-time low!
Alternative systems are being configured with the aid of competition sponsor Samsung ... we will see what we manage to come up with, hopefully something!!
