My first tandem flight in 1988 was on a mountain in Southern Calif called Kagel. I started flying hang glider solo in 1990. Since then hang gliding has been my primary interest.

Pacific Airwave K4
I opened up the Teddy Mack Pacific Airwave K4 today to take a look. There was a lot of sand inside, I brushed them off and clean the sail. Since I'm not sure how long this glider will be in my backyard. I wrap up the glider with two layers of plastic bag.
This is what I found so far:

This is what I found so far:
- Some abrasion wear spots on leading edge.
- Air frame looks fine.
- Cables and bolts kind of rusty.
- Missing basetube lock pin bolt.
- Small dent on the right side washout tube.
