Blue Sky Scooter Tow Instruction

USHPA in conjunction with Wills Wing will sponsor scooter towing seminars with Blue Sky's Steve Wendt.  These programs are FREE to instructors who are interested in learning this great teaching method.  If you would like to come learn how to scooter tow, please contact <Rob> so we know how many instructors and pilots to plan for.

Florida Ridge April 12th - 14th.

Wallaby Ranch April 16th - 19th.

Now listen up if you are a hang gliding instructor.  The USHPA and Wills Wing are paying for these clinics.  They are being put on by the most successful scooter tow instructor in the country, the USHPA instructor of the year in 2005.  All you have to do is pay for your transportation to get to Florida in the height of their flying season.

You would be crazy not to go to one of these clinics.  They are designed to help make you the most successful instructor possible.  It's FREE.  Just get yourself there.

What do I have to do to convince you that you will profit greatly from attending?  Wills Wing and the USHPA are so convinced that these clinics will help you teach more students better and be more financially successful that they are willing to pay for the clinics.

Mike Meier is writing a manual to go along with a Wills Wing financed DVD displaying how to do the Blue Sky scooter tow method of instruction.  Do you think that Wills Wing spends its money frivolously?

What do you want out of these clinics?  Contact Steve Wendt at <blueskyhg> and ask him about them and tell him what you want.

Fifty people attended at least a part of the first Blue Sky seminar in February.  There were numerous first adopters who have implemented Steve's methods.  You can read in the Oz Report the glowing articles that these participants wrote about their experience with Steve.

Don't wait.  Sign up now.

I sold a used ATOS VX in New York at Marty B’s (Paul TjadenPaul Tjaden's) and have at least  three guys around the US who would like to have used VX’s.  I also have Russell’s used ATOS VR and your’s for sale.  The used VR’s I’ve sold have been in the $12-13,000 range.  My inventory includes a new VR and a new VX so that we can deliver gliders with no wait!  There are various people around considering rigids, but I suspect it will be spring before we see much activity.

Matt Tabor has committed to becoming a dealer and having a VX demo available, as has Malcolm.  I went to Tennessee for Matt’s 30 year celebration.  It was very well attended and he was wonderfully gracious.  His new radial ramp is a tremendous addition to the park.

My recovery is complete with just a little remaining stiffness in my neck that is slowly working out.  You might not even notice.
