What is it like?

There is a nice high pressure system parked over your little corner of the globe.  You get out of work a little early (or picture early morning).  The sky is gorgeous, clear blue.  Winds are 2-10mph.  

You grab your gear and head for a big open green space.  You complete your pre-flight checks for a safer flight.  Motor, helmet, radio, gas, wing, risers all look good.

You face your wing into the wind and within minutes you are 500 feet above ground in your own private google-earth view but it is REAL.
