I like the video. I keep thinking I want a Kolb to fly around and check things out.

A buddy and I are partners in a Quicksikver MX. Jeff, the guy who shot the video has an MX Sprint. If this works, the one on the right is mine, Jeff's is on the left. Image[/URL]

Flew the 172 to Lake Placid KLKP yesterday and watched a soaring club out of Canada flying gliders. Nice day.

Re: Adirondacks From an Ultralight

Pretty cool, fshaw! I swear I am going to get some GoPro footage of flying our Quicksilvers too someday. They are in my dad's hangar 250 miles away, so not exactly convenient.

There's nothing quite like it though! Wind in the face (bugs and all.)
