Scott takes to the air (almost)

    After watching over the last month or so, Scott finally got to try the harness on and take the wing for a spin.  Unfortunately, the wind was way too strong and kept collapsing the paraglider.  After several failed attempts to "kite" the wing, Jon decided to take over and give it a try.  After much difficulty, he was able to get it to launch, but only for a moment when the wind took it back down again.  Scott and Jon tried again later that day and had much better success.  Only a few more weeks until the first solo flight....stay tuned.
