I just wonder which type is more "docile" for a beginner. IS tit this old fashion long rogallo hang glider or the slim high aspect ratio hang gliders
-
PART VIII: We invite further posts for the site: RogalloHangGliders DOT com that unfold the full leadership of Francis M. Rogallo that furthered hang glider mechanical arts that were invented before 1961, and surely before 1963.
-
PART VII: So, with all the arts already mechanically invented and demonstrated, then it is very unfortunate for one man to keep claiming that which others had already done in mechanical invention.

Basic design: Wingspan, 32 feet, 22 foot boom and spar lengths, empty weight 40lb, max weight flown 40 lb plus 140lb = 180lb, glide ratio 4.5, better than usual parawings due to flatter lobes, larger aspect ratio, smaller pilot relative to the large wing, no wires. The craft was flown at many other configurations, 25 to 45 lbs. 17 feet spars radically curved outwards to 27 feet spars, which was too flexible for good flight, but could fly all alone quite well!

...I like that little red flag at keel rear, that in effect says, "Don't follow me too closely."

@jwm239 How about the second red flag sometimes hanging out of my back pants pocket. "Do not kick here." You needed two of them to carry this glider on my '60 Corvair.

The low aspect ratio wings are more docile than the high aspect wings, as a much greater angle of attack variation is used for the low aspect wings, which would give more docile pitch handling.
