  • Nice video how do you find the bird I have a SW Rush 15 which is very similar. Adam

  • @smad333

    Solarwing hanggliders from the 90s tend to be rock solid in pitch and tracking at speed but a little too stable in roll comared to the kiss/ K4 etc but rumours inspire confidence in the rough stuff...I put 800 hours on the rumour 1 in this video still got it and its airworthy too......Cheers Mike H.

  • looks cool but donno if i could trust that thing cable holding me in a sleeping bag like thing! lol.

  • Thin cable is TWO 1800 Lb breaking strain nylon webbing straps connected with a 3000Kg steel carabiner.

    I would have to pull 50G to break them! HangGlider would fold at around 8G........
