Hand Launch Aerobatics is the art and science of man, flying machine, and the wind. It is a performance art, an aerospace and engineering science, and a joy to participate in or simply to behold. It contains the extremes of humility as well as ego and pride, and has potential as unlimited as the human imagination itself. Imagine a flight vehicle leaving your hand, dancing with the wind in a spontaneous conversation between your mind and nature, and returning to your hand as if born, nested and fledged from there. This is the essence of Hand Launch Aerobatics.
Every individual involved in HLAerobatics has a unique approach to and execution of the practice, much as individual ballet dancers each have their own unique style of dance.

This web site is dedicated to the late Pritchett Allen Harris Junior, WWII veteran, Fine Arts sculpter and teacher, who's primary goal in his work was to capture the nature and spirit of the human animal in motion and to teach that art to others. This work is also dedicated to my wife, who put up with the insane number of hours spent by myself on such meaningless folly as "simple model airplanes", and to our children.
For an interesting topic related to Hand Launch Aerobatics, check out Brownstone Beam and learn about operator supported remote camera positioning and control technology. Some technology verifiction video clips using operator supported camera positioner systems are located near the end of the clips listing on the Camera Vehicles section of this site.
