Ollie's first hang gliding crash ~ ouch!

Ollies first crash on a hang glider.
He over corrects a left turn as he is coming in to land.
The glider Stalls the right wing and spins in.
The glider was OK and Ollie ended up having 9 flights later this day.
A great effort for his first day hang gliding.

that looked SO FUN..! :p reminded me when i built a hang glider when i were younger. but didn't fly.. :(

lighter touch, holding the downtubes really tight deadens feedback...his head leans to the left where he wants the glider to go, but the legs and body are swinging opposite way...and as FCbisleyBob says, pushing out is not helping his cause.

...looks like Ollie was flying too slowly, especially for that fresh wind...note how

pushed out the control bar is.

Leave the spastic legs for the dance floor... maybe hanggliding is a sport for ... well better people.

STICK TO PLAYMOBIL

ouchjeez

the streight arm at 36 sec gives the game away pushing accross the A frame. this slows the wing meaning no control so his left input didnt work. pull toward an upright not push from the other this adds speed and control. i remember crashing for the same reason

pull in pull in pull in speed = control oh i miss my training days. great video
