I’ve always wanted one since they first got popular. The best I could do was hang gliding. Which I loved!

I remember seeing one of these at an airshow, back in the early 90s. Very cool plane.

Cool! If I lived in a place that flat, I would take to the air, too. Hang in there, keep it fun ! Peace.

Finally takes off after 3 minutes of seat belt fastening and taxiing, lol. The wait is worth it because this is a really good video.

Preflight. Most pilots would appreciate the run-up. There are skills you missed while waiting on the "action".

Hello greetings from Chile, a question. You can share in real size, the greater and less curved tube of the wings, I am starting a weedhopper project. Thank you so much . Cristian.

What would you say is windspeed Max that you would fly in? You seem to handle gusty wind better than me. I'm a chicken over 6 mph with only 1 hr flight time.

I know this is an old comment but I hear people say 15+ is too much for it to be fun. I get sketched out in anything over 8. Just stay in your comfort zone.

Do these things really require so much stick wiggling? As a pilot, I am amazed at what he was doing!
@jamesordwayultralightpilot
@jamesordwayultralightpilot 13 дней назад
This looks like it has 2 axis controls so he's really doing the work his feet should be doing if he had rudder pedals. His rudder is hooked up to his stick. I'm not 100% sure about this but I don't see ailerons.

Could think of alot of other things I would rather not do. This isn't one of em. Looks fun! How much does one cost? And what training is involved to solo one? Used to fly spam can Cessna's. But that was years ago. Powered hang glider Ragallo wing?
