I flew over the Eifel Transmitter two days ago on an XC flight and asked myself, Why don't I mind hanging thousands of feet from a handful of lines, but imagining standing on top of that thing makes my stomach churn?. Are you afraid of heights when not flying?2yr ⋅ vindolin ⋅ r/freeflight

3 hrs of flying right above this 2,000’ cliff face (Richfield, Utah USA). Landed, got home and this pic was posted: pilot threw reserve, drifted, made it just over the lip before touching down. 50’ further to the left and he’d have bounced down the cliff face. Yikes.3yr ⋅ Porkbellied ⋅ r/freeflight
