St Hilaire Steep Ramp Hang Glider Launch

The day after this year's Coupe Icare finished I went up to the high launch. The cloud was covering launch so I had to wait for a gap and launch. Tried to land on the spot but overshot slightly after dragging a foot over the spot. Some Iraqi pilots came over for a chat.

@Jarvyboay Hello Sheep, check out the other video of the same flight, the view from the ramp is amazing. Did you ever go to St Hilaire? Pete

Mental stuff and who is that in the background at takeoff? ;-)

[flyingleek]

@daytrader66 he's a paramotor pilot come to see the real thing :-)

@flyingleek Nah mate, never did...looks absolutely off the scale! Nothing like that over here, closest might be somewhere in the southern alps in NZ maybe. PNG's got some 14000' peaks but access is sevearly limited.

Just have to try the Morning glory next year eh!? Thats pretty close...
