Hang Glider Ready to Fly Fleet 10 Gliders

Note: delivery delay for large orders. We are a small operation and this week (January 9, 2024) we've gotten some huge orders for our two ready-to-fly glider designs.  We can still send off small orders in a day or two, but we're looking at the end of March for large (JROTC) orders. Thanks for your patience.

Like big hang gliders that carry people, these Hang Gliders are designed for efficiency. More efficient than simple Jagwings, these are the best for when hands only are diverting the air wave instead of a big board. I can easily fly Hang Gliders with just one hand. The Hang Glider design is descended from the Baby Bug design. I found that truncating (cutting) the wing tips increased stability. Otherwise the two designs are very similar.

FULL DISCLOSURE: NOT FOR BEGINNERS Though a marvel of efficiency, Hang Gliders are also more complex than Jagwings, with dihedral, 4 segments of front camber and a built-in back stabilizer. Although I test and adjust each one, and pack them carefully, what’s a beginner to do when a Hang Glider gets handled a bit too hard so that it’s out of adjustment? With a Jagwing you might be able to just flatten it out in a book overnight and re-bend the back. But Hang Gliders are more complicated, less forgiving. For example, there are several interrelated ways to adjust something as simple as stalling/diving. I might modify the stabilizer, or the elevons, or add/cut off front weight, or bend the weight more forward or backward, or bend the front camber more or less. And modifying the camber closer to the middle has a much greater effect than the same at the wingtips.
