    Cool. Thanks. Keep on flying and enjoy the sky. See ya.

  • @Domzdream. You will borrow the schools gliders on your first course, but you need your own glider for the 2nd course.

  • You literally took about 5 or 6 steps before taking off. It's really amazing.

    I hope so man. I truely want to do this, more than anything in my life right now.

    I'm hoping that by next year I can afford to to it. On top of that, I still need to buy a car to attatch my hanglider to the roof when I decide to go hang glide. Is it possible to hire a hang glider on the site?

  • @Domzdream. Hi. I've only flown on the South Downs, not sure what closer sites there are to London. Can strongly recommend southdownshanggliding as a school. For a full list of schools and clubs go to the BHPA site. Also get advice on the hangies.co.uk forum. Also see the comments below, javabart was asking similar questions. Hope to see you in the sky soon!

    I'm currently in the UK, London. Where is it best to go hanglide? Also, where are there nearest hangliding sites to London? Thanks.

  • I'M SO JEALOUS.

    You look so free. My time will come soon enough where I can join you all up there.

  • Jesus... the unexpected 360 was so dangerous. Maybe your trim speed is too low or your turning technic needs to be worked...Dont know..i am novice too... Please consult your instructors and let us known.

  • @javabart. You need about £1100 for the 2 courses, about £1000 for a glider, about £120 for a harness, about £45 for 3 month BHPA membership and about £80 for a helmet! It's not cheap - but definately the cheapest way to fly. This is what credit cards were invented for!

    Best ask on hangies.co.uk for the best school to go to in your area. Avoid an aerotow school because it will restrict your experience of the sport. You want a good hill launch hang gliding school.

  • @vapula01 How much did it cost to get set up?

    I've got 1k already but fear I need a lot more.
