Baby Steps..First Hang Gliding Solo Soaring Flight! Kariotahi NZ

[Rallyant]

Nice first solo!

I have been wanting to fly there for a while now! Hope to get my arse to NZ one of these days do it!

Yeah man, half my battle is relaxing, the rest is figuring what the hell the wind is doing, and remembering to lead with my ass. It just gets better and better this sport, keep up the good work!

Very impresive! You got everything in one flight. Stalls, 360's and some big inputs for a first soaring flight. Good luck and safe flying.

@IANRPARKER Hey thanks! Im loving flying, was waiting and waiting to get that flight under my belt. Fingers crossed ill be up there again soon!

Mate you must be buzzing after that flight - looks like an awesome spot - might have to head up some time and join ya. watch the cross controling - lead with your feet into the turns and you'll find it way easier. Keep posting

@SpiNNeRNZ It was fantastic up there, ive watched my flight over and over and I got a fair bit of learning to do yet. My turns were pretty rough like you said lead with the feet and not over correct I noticed I was ocillating quite a bit. Hopefully I can get up there again this weekend!
