  • Sweet. You look like a hawk on those low pass overs. I love love your kite. Never had them in my days of hang gliding

  • no yaw control? how does it attain about yaw stability? with the tiny wiglets at the swept wing tips?

  • That's how you enjoy the thrill of flight, without the stinking TSA nazis!

  • @MrPLOXPLOXPLOX this is hang glider, para glider is the parachute thing. and these can stay up as long as you wish, I think it's hard to land, much harder than paraglider though.

  • @naxofruta  Well.. depends on what's your goal, where you fly and how far you want to fly. If you have take offs which are difficult to reach, like aerobatics, do not care about doing 200 km in a row with ease or simply like to take it easy, I agree, paragliding is better. Otherwise, the opposite. I'm luky to live in a gliding paradise: fassa valley (Italy). Come and have fun!

  • How do you land it

  • @flower150

    holy fuck i think i just pooped a little. so it wouldent be dificult, on the right air current, to go cross country?

  • @MrPLOXPLOXPLOX

    there's one bloke been up there for eight years!

  • how long can paragliders stay up for?
