- incredible!

They tend to be apprehensive about landing, but then I point out that
launching an HG is ten times easier than a PG - you just pick it up and
walk off the hill (well, in my sorta winds, you do!)

None of that faffing about building walls, sorting out lines, reversing
controls, launching with your BACK TO THE SKY, etc...

Swings and roundabouts.
