Had an interesting experience on the beach yesterday As I was sailing north in my class5 I saw a 4wd coming south near the water and a hangglider that appeared to be landing on the beach close to the sandhills I decided to give the hangglider a wide berth and moved over toward the 4wd only to discover at the last minute there was a wire connecting the two! I just had time to swing out toward the hangglider where the wire was higher and passed underneath That was a new one for me
I saw a hanglider / car years ago do a similar thing years ago.... The guy flying the glider came to a sudden stop as it hit the ground and became VERY good friends with his local dentist
We had a Gyrocopter fold up and drop out of the sky on our turning mark one Day. I believe the lesson that day was 1/4 gutter bolts are NOT high tensile
