Many local piolts built their own wings back in the Day, Mark Sawyer, Dale Trombo, Bill Hamilton, Tony Allergro and I all built our own gliders . We flew them with no chute deployments, for a short time with no chutes come to think about it! Many of our home builts were copies of other manufactures gliders and some were our own designs.
Back to Yosemite, can you PG there?

I made two flights on two consecutive days in the mid 90s. I mounted an analog 8mm video camera on the keel of a SuperSport for the first flight and on the cross arm of a SkyHawk for the second flight. My buddy Evan was supposed to fly with me, but he busted up a knee hot dogging on a mountain bike the day before the trip, so he wound up driving for me.
Great video.
My first and only time in Yosemite was in 1983 I believe. I took my Seagull 10 meter up to the same take off as that video I believe but the park ranger said I was not allowed to fly. He said you need to have a hang 4 and only fly before about 7:30 am as I recall. The reason you weren't allowed to fly after 7:30 a.m. was because it tended to stop traffic as people would literally stop and gaze and photograph the HGs....or something like that.
So I didn't get to fly there.
