Words
By Dave Robson
owdy folks. I hope you all had abetter Memorial
day weekend than I. I understand those who
made it to Dinosaur had a good time even though
cronditionsweren't too fuvomble for X-C fl)ttg.
Be sure to mark your calendars for the annual
July4th "Weekend on the Mountain" at William's Peak
Sincemost companies will be observing the holiday on
Friday, it will be a three day weekend affair this year.
The annual potluck dinner will be held under the club
tent on Saturdaynight. The club will providebeer, sod4
hambuqger and all the hamburger fixins. Pleasecontact
Dave Brown (73TM57) andlet him know what you will
be bringing to share. He can also let you know what
items are needed. The weather hasrft cooperated real
well the last couple of years, so hopefully it will turn
around, and this year will be the one to attend.
Also not to fara-round the corner is Buffalo Bill
days coming up on July 17th- 18th. Terry Hacklcart is in
charge of putting that together. Pleaselet him know if
you c€rnhelp with either the booth or with the flying
competition. Terry will have more info at the next
meeting. Pleasegive him a call if you have any items of
interest for the booth. Pictures are always needed.
Finally, thanks to all who attended the last

meeting with Marlys Wills, if you missed it, you missed
some great stories and videos of Chris and Bobby in
their younger days. I especially liked the flying motorrycle. We had one of the largest gouPs she has talked
to, and she sold more then three times the number of
books that she usually does! If you didrt't get a copy of
her boolg George Greer has a few more at his shop in
Heritage Square. I thinkshe discovered that she should
be talking to more hang glider pilots in her travels
instead of the book dubs that she has been spending
time with. We are a much more captive audience to the
subjectthenmost otherpeople and can appreciatesome
of the storiesa lot more.
I don't have much to say about the flying
lately, since I haven't been flying lately. For the most
part the weather hasn't been all that great here on the
front range anyway. I've also beenbusyadjusting to my
new life asabadrelorand doing a little traveling. For the
most part that'sbehind me now, and summer is here so
let us all get out there and soak up some of the Colorado
summer sun. Seeyou at Frogs for the nerctmeeting.

SITE
COMMITTEE
REPORT
By Jim Yocom
our RMHGA Site Committee had its first meetng ApnlZ?, 1992.Eleven peoplecame to discuss
their ideas and volunteer their time checking out new
sites. Presentwere Ansu Crawford, MarkTobias, Tom
Nelson" Craig Thompson" David Brown, Greg Pfaff,
ScottComeaux,JohnWest, MarkRowland, DougFaude,
andJimYocom.
A number of ercistingand potential sites were
discussed,aerial photos reviewed and detailed maps
ocamired. Over the next several months, we hope to
look into various sites and determine the availability of
additional sites, especially in the fr.ont range area
Greg Pfaff volunteered to ched<into Jefferrcn
County Open Space land and Boulder County Open
Spacefor potential flying sites. We are especially interested in the possibility of flying on Open Spaceland on
the north side of North Table Mountain. Access and
landing areas will be examined and a report on the
feasibility of pursuing flying there will follow.
Craig Thompson and Tom Nelson volunteered
to check out Denver Mountain parks, especially Red
Rocks as a potential site. They have also located what
The Flocker
seemsto be a very nice site near Castle Rod<,and will be
doing more work on actually flying there.
Doug Faude volunteered to find out more
about flying Blue Mountain, located just south of Coal
Creek Canyon. There are several possible launches
from about 9fi) ft to a000 ft above the potential T.7-q.
Scott Comeaux will be checking out the new
construction nearthe Buffalo Bill Memorial. It appears
an acces.sroad is being cut down near the old "Spider
Web" launch.
John West has been and will continue to work
with his crcntactin the city of lakewood to develop a
hang gliding training program for pilots with special
skills. At somepoint we are hopeful this will lead to the
reopening of Green Mountain for flying. Nothing is
near certain at this time, so don't count on flying there
anytime soory but John's work may Bve us the best
chance we have seenin many years.
We will continue to monitor the situation at
Mt. Zion (Lookout) as the new highway corstruction is
finally completed and the area becomes more developed. Follow-up workwill also be done regarding the
use of the retired landfill areajust south of SeniorFrogs
Retaurant.
There were several other sites mentioned that
could use someoneinterested in futher investigation. I t
appears that at one time we had the permission of the
ForestServiceto usetheacessroadto thetop of Geneva
Basin Ski area, and people launched off the ski runs.
Geneva Basin felt the accessgiven to pilots was somewhat of a pain, and the site fell into disuse. If anyone has
more information about flying there or is interested in
chechng out flying there now, let a member of the site
committee know or talkto JohnWest who actually flew
there.
Therewere other sitesand ideas discussed,but
to really find out what is going on come to the next Site
Committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday June

July or so it leaked as I was flying. l,ater it leaked again
as I transported it in my harness. It didn't seem to do
much right away but that was not just the calm before
the storm. A crcuplemonths later I flew from the lower
launch at Williams to the new I2out by the highway'
Jaynewas on launch and crouldnot receive my transmissions. Tums out my printed circuit board had corroded
from the wetness. It had taken months to fuil. It also
took months to get repaired. The repair time was long
becausethe service centerwould find a problem, order
parts, and thenbe able to find more problems' Final cost
(l suspect this was a deal becar:seof how long it took to
rcpatu)was $135.
Moral of the story. DON'T carr5rwaterin your
harness. Those clip valves only take a small bump to
release.If yourbottle leaks it may damage your radio,
vario or other things. I have also had my pa::achuteget
a little wet from a leak This crculd cause damage or
deployment problems. So watch your bottles. Don't
