OverviewI was in California on a business trip in May and flew out Saturday to save on the air-fare. I met up with John Borton (JB) and Donn Denman, the Thin Air folks down at Marina on Sunday to check out the Millenium. They had the factory prototype Millenium with them and JB and Donn were flying it. The conditions were perfect for beach flying all day with winds 15-20 mph. I got to ground handle the glider for quite a while and even took a 10' hop. I took alot of pictures while I was there. Here's my report.

The Millenium can even fly itself! JB is not touching it.
