Nah not driven one of those, not done hang gliding either yet, it's a one of these days projects though for sure. Done gliding, kinda bored me to be honest....

Lemme guess, those 10ton things handled like a tank?

not when they test you at 5000ft ... in the middle of 10 other gliders

kinda keeps you busy!
that ....
and when you find yourself 15km from where you think you are
and the airfield is in the opposite direction

cheers

Please elborate Mr smith, you're willing to jump off a totally good cliff with a sliver of fabric over your head but won't jump out of a plane with a similar amount of fabric over your head....

May well just be me but I don't see a heck of a lot of difference between the two...

Mick
the hang glider has this frame to which the said fabric is connected
also with the 'glider one goes off terra firma (as in orf a cliff)
and those...make all the difference

cheers
