We pilots did not subscribe to die in a hang glider. Conversely, I've never been more alive than when I gain altitude and soar above the world, for a rare glorification of my human spirit, and I become very thankful for this opportunity, again..
I'm scared to death of heights, but when I'm on a glider I never feel the fear of heights. It's the strangest thing. I think it's because I can't "fall" if that makes any sense. :)
Thanks Brian. A request please. I started at 22 and stopped flying hang gliders in 1982. Old school and no gauges. I had to start constructing my own house got married and life happened, unfortunately. I'm now retired but LONG for a proper modern hang glider. I weigh now 88kg. Anyone out there that can offer me a glider at a reasonable price as I have to purchase with a bad currency (eg ~20Rand=$1) . With love from Pretoria, South Africa
I have a USA made S3 - 155 and have compared it with the new ones made in Mexico.....I can assure you that the quality and detailing (at least in the sail cut and sewing) seems to have improved quite a bit..... here is a video of my sport 3. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1hzosB6YNbw.html
Suh-Wheat! I'll email you the latest news - all good. I like how smoothly the quad is pulling the Alpha. Wondering if you've tried having the quad be closer to the glider? I suppose with the radios that's not really needed. I'll bet it's nice being able to tow both ways without much time in between tows. So far I've not gotten any wheels from Jim Prahl. I think he'd rather go flying than make them. I sent another arm twisting email :)
