The RU-vid algorithm brought this to my attention. I am from Nashville TN but I fly at Lookout Mountain in Georgia, outside of Chattanooga TN. I am glad you are continuing to move the sport forward. I think interest in HG will bounce back in my lifetime. Good luck and I will be anticipating more from you :) . Oh, and I'm not interested in competition flying, just fun flying slow and floating around trying to thermal, with something that is easy to setup.
I love the work! But where I live (SoCal USA) we really need a few ocean ridge lift sites other than super busy Torrey Pines 90 miles south of me. I suspect (know) that is needed in many geographic areas. Places where people can easily see the flying, rather than the mountain sites where hang gliding is all but invisible to potential newbie pilots. Just my take as a HG/Sailplane/SEL pilot.
The Falcon #4 170 was the nicest glider I flew when it comes to handling. So much fun to fly. And you can "drift" it better when soaring (Malibu is a bit too stable). Now I wonder, could you make the Falcon improve performance just a little without loosing the amazing handling? Maybe increse the double sail just over the crossbar?
I've got a 25 hr Malibu 188 I bought last year - our Moyes agent's own, but immediately before a medical setback, so haven't flown it yet. No need for a new sail any time soon, though 🤨
