Hang Gliding Basics for Beginners : Launching in High Winds in Hang Gliding

[JoMama33]

NOTE: The hang glider pilot shown was asked to do this as a favor by the film maker- a paraglider pilot selling videos to Expert Village

It was intended as a BASIC OVERVIEW only! It may look like complete instruction, but is NOT! There is so much more to learn that can ONLY COME FROM AN INSTRUCTOR BEING PRESENT see USHPA.org

The pilot had no script nor chance to see/edit the video/text. It's pretty good, but (WARNING!) there are several errors, cuts/omissions & a few misrepresentations.

too obvious!

very good emphasis about penetration into

strong winds...all my flying has been in

very calm or no wind as I & instructor

am concerned about wind-generated complications upon landing, e.g., locating wind sock & its direction in

time, overcoming close-to-ground only

turbulence, etc. (I have only Hang One

rating so far.)
