Podcast Interview with HLG Pro Bruce Davidson

Want to listen to an hour long interview with one of the world's top HLG pilots?  Sure ya do.

After finishing a grueling 2 days of filming Bruce teaching the Handlaunch Master Class DVD, I sat him down and interviewed for an hour long podcast.  We discuss the latest trends in HLG flying techniques and airplane designs and how they are effecting the sport.  Other subjects include flying without a rudder with his Sirius, his trip to the German Open F3K contest, and how his approach to contests has changed over the years.  Click the link to download the MP3 file to your computer.  Pass it around!
