1Evolution of FlightHello, my name is Greg Lawrence and I am your Instructor today.

The person who taught, the person who taught, the person who taught, the person who taught me to fly was Orville Wright at Huffman Prairie .My Great-Great-Grand-Instructor, Orville and his brother Wilber flew many gliders before they flew the 1903 version with a motor on it.

The 1901 version didnt have a rudder and Orville got hurt discovering adverse yaw.

The 1902 version had a rudder and larger wings. Flew very well and the brothers put a motor on it for the 1903 version.Hello, my name is Greg Lawrence and I am your Instructor now.The person who taught, the person who taught, the person who taught, the person who taught me to fly was Orville Wright at Huffman Prairie .My Great-Great-Grand-Instructor, Orville and his brother Wilber flew many gliders before they flew the 1903 version with a motor on it.The 1902 version had a rudder and larger wings.

2What is a Glider?FAR 1.1 Glider means a heavier-than-air aircraft, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces and whose free flight does not depend principally on an engine.

Putting a motor on a glider does not change its category to airplane.Putting a motor on a glider makes it a self launched glider.In other words, a glider captures and utilizes the natural energy in the atmosphere to fly.Every airplane glides, only gliders soar.A glider captures and utilizes the natural energy in the atmosphere Putting a motor on a glider does not change its category to airplane.Putting a motor on a glider makes it a self launched glider.In other words, a glider captures and utilizes the natural energy in the atmosphere to fly.Every airplane glides, only gliders soar.

3What is FREEDOM?freedom/frdm/Noun1. The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.2. Absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic (Antonym = democratic) government

Hindrance/RestraintHigh cost of fuelUnavailability of fuelAirspace restrictionsMandated equipmentEquipment certificationPilot certificationMedical certificationInaccessibility of airportsDespotic GovernanceFAAEPATSACABFCCUS Military

Why arent you flying now?Who crated those hindrences?Our fuel is lift that is abundant and free.Glider category aircraft are exempt from many of the restriction.Glider category aircraft do not require transponder or ELT.Gliders are certified the same as airplanes.Glider pilot certification is faster and less expensive.No medical certificate required for glider pilots.You can still bring your family to the gliderport, walk around, touch and talk.4What is Soaring?Only the highest bird forms, Eagles, Hawks, Condors and a few others soar. That may be true of people also. Gliding is descending while soaring is using natural lift to climb and cruise. Using natural lift is aligning yourself with the flow of energy in the universe and seems (feels) like a very, very good thing to do.

Soaring is what we are evolving into.When we have more FREEDOM, we can fly for the pleasure and feeling of being at home, in the air.Then, we no longer have to find an excuse or a destination. The waves, cloud streets, slopes, convergence, darkest parts of the clouds and birds are the destination.Soaring is what we are evolving into.

Orville Wright, Oct. 191110 years after the 01 glider, almost 8 years after the first powered flight, Orville Wright evolved to soaring. 9 minutes, 45 seconds of slope soaring was the world record for a long time.Soaring 100, Oct. 21-24, 2011, Nags Head, NC Celebrates the 100th anniversary Soaring is FREEDOMSoaring is what we are evolving into.Only the highest bird forms, Eagles, Hawks, Condors and a few others soar.

The waves, cloud streets, slopes, convergence, darkest parts of the clouds and birds are the destination. 10 years after the 01 glider, almost 8 years after the first powered flight, Orville Wright evolved to soaring. 9 minutes, 45 seconds of slope soaring was the world record for a long time.

5Evolution of Greg

Greg Lawrence Deafhawk 1966

When I was 8 years old, I looked out the open door of a cub and realized that there was nothing between me and the ground but air and that air was my home.

Home is where you know in your heart that you belong, feel comfortable and must return to.Picture of me 18 years old I Am DeafhawkWhen I was 8 years old, I looked out the open door of a cub and realized that there was nothing between me and the ground but air and that air was my home.Home is where you know in your heart that you belong, feel comfortable and must return to.

6Our Home

(verb) To live in or inhabit an ideally perfect home.Making OUR home more ideally perfect with us in it.DecorationCeilingWallsEcolution is the project that captures and utilizes the natural energy to make the gliders that capture and utilize the natural energy so that we can soar. DwellGreen is the project that captures and utilizes the natural energy to make your home soar (capture and utilize the natural energy).

Design, materials and production are focused on the goal of maximum performance with fewer emissions.

Design Lighting is controlled according to the season

Design Aspect ratio and shape of wing for lift and speed

Materiel Latest composites for strength and perfect surface.

Production Sustainable, self sufficient factory sells energy TO the public utlity.9

How do you make a factory soar?

This is the factory in a virtual wind tunnel.

Geothermal for heating and cooling.

Solar electricity production .

Heat energy is captured and recycled. Heat and gasses from the welding shop are captured, scrubbed and recycled.

Heat pump to supplement geothermal..

Generator to supplement solar on cloudy days. Of course all heat and gasses are captured and recycled.

Your home can soar with this technology also.10
