Get High Hang Gliding Low

Did you ever have dreams of flying low over the landscape, drifting over the treetops? I've had them since I was young. Hang gliding for me is about living my dreams, skimming along one or two hundred feet above the ground just relaxing and enjoying the view. This video is put together from a whole year of flying over the Mortlock River near the town of Grass Valley in Western Australia.

Great video! I am thinking about buying a Mosquito, too, to get into the air more often. It appears that land with the prop at idle, or does it just windmill and take some time after the flare to stop rotating?

@yedaki76 These days I always kill the engine on short final, when I am ready to commit. I don't usually bother with the propeller brake at that height so that is why the propeller keeps turning. At least 3 times when I landed with the engine running the throttle cable has got pulled as I flared - and over I went. It's never a good look when you are upside down with the engine still running. It is a good way of bending downtubes and breaking propellers.

@KonradT4 :

Thanks Konrad, a very valid comment indeed and I'll make sure to cut if off when or well before being on final.
