I've been thinking about new ways to explore the skies after becoming a paraplegic last year. I've been paragliding everywhere and getting into gliding but what about hang gliding?
@0:00 my life flying
@1:51 the wreckyou helicopter
@2:52 gliding from the wheelchair
@5:33 hang gliding, self launch, storage
@9:36 slower speeds are better? ground handling
@10:13 plan ideas
Footage taken from various places, many of my videos since my accident, RU-vid videos from archaeopteryx and Icaro, and my old paragliding videos from the Canadian Rockies in 2018 (inset from first few years in Oz at the Playground), to the Kingaroy Soaring club in 2020, the Carpathians and France in 2022, to my French gliding club in 2021, the Red Bull X-Alps in 2015, flying past mum's place to the Hollyford in the last NZ season before the pandemic, gliding in the French Alps this year and Chris Streat late last year, and some shots from Matthew Scutter (skysight creator) in the Australian outback.

had a trike years ago and with the new wings light weight units stol performance easy to fly kind of ticks the box.

Oh man, seeing you do real time chaseplane vlogging of the Xalps in an archaeo or sailplane would be next level! Cameraman in the back seat too, would save them having flying a dirty helicopter for B roll.

Yeah I reckon it's an awesome idea. Fairly quiet in the cockpit too, and you can report on the thermals etc

Chasing the red bull X-Apls. Can’t wait to see your vid doing that adventure. Looking forward to even more content as you mull over the options and get things rolling along. Another great project thanks for sharing 😊

hell if I could afford it I would have an electric hang gliding trike😀I started off with hang gliding I still kind of miss it 😔 I switch to paragliding when I move back to Newfoundland because the land is so rugged so I guess pick the best aircraft that works for the terrain

Ah yes. I've spent a bit of time in NL, it was really fun to have a few short flights there!

I would advise against trikes, they are inherently unstable and really challenging to operate (easy to put into and next to impossible to recover from a spiral dive) compared to a regular hangglider or a glider plane.

Good to know! I'm much more keen on soaring than motoring anyway

@@sharemyjoys I think a glider plane would be the perfect deal for your specific situation. A low risk and very enjoyable alternative. A guy just broke a world record this summer by flying more than 1000 miles in one stretch, French Alps to the island of Corsica and back. That is quite a feat, such a long stretch over open ocean.
