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.

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........
