wrdturkey have you experienced being blown away by strong winds? what do you do to avoid that? im from philippines & i also want to fly like you. thank you!
It sure is. I don't think I really reach full throttle. After take off, you vary the throttle position for how high you want to go, then gradually decrease it to land. BTW - When's your first video coming out?
nice one.i fly a 582 rotax in south africa.i note you have a streamer attatched to your flying wire..nice idea if it tells you cross wind direction??? first time ive seen that on a trike
who is it made by? what kind of wing. how many hours on motor? Am looking hard now. I hang glide now but I'd like to do this also. really like your set up, simple looking. thanks fly safe
Much appriciated for you reply.I am sure if you come in my country kashmir and fly over the higest mountain K2 ..you will enjoy more.God luck and enjoy flying.If you got any for sale then give me shout.
I paid $6900 for it back in 1996 brand new. It was assembled, tested and ready to fly. I have a little more than $1000 in accessories (gages, parachute, strobe, etc.) It's priceless to me.
The highest I've flown it was 3800' AGL. I wasn't trying to set any records and could have gotten higher. The scenery is much better when you are down low. Especially on those hot summer days and everyone is in their swimming pools :)

over here we get terrible sink. flybys like this can be tricky.

I know what you mean. Even when the air is calm, sometimes I hit something and say, "What the heck was that?" Keep the speed up for good control.

@wrdturkey those are pockets of sinking air. air rises from the sun thus u get good lift when u are below the rising air u sink.

Pretty nice skill. Is this done by just holding back on the throttle a bit to reduce lift.
