Here's a few pictures from a tandem flight with Jason. (Holding the camera out at arms length doesn't quite cut it and I need to get some kind of camera mount on the wing) Jason only has one arm but was able to stear the glider on his first flight here pretty well, which has me thinking of possible extensions one could add to the base tube to make handling easier.

There was some fairly strong lift in places and we had to speed up and fly toward the edge of the clouds to keep from going in at times.

Yes these colors below are real!

Up close the cliffs look like they'd been hit with a snow blower overnight.

The picture below is interesting in that, while we are finding abundant and strong lift, this lake is totally calm. It really was a day with predominantly thermal lift and not much general wind.
