Here's
How It's Done By More Skilled Flyers
|
|
|
For lessons, the ultralight on the right is used. But the people
on the left and below used a smaller ultralight.
To the left, the small ultralight (top left) and the hanglider
(bottom left) are both ready. Note the cable. It's hard to see.
The hang glider rides on a wheeled sled which will be left behind.
|
|
|
|
Here is the larger ultralight that is normally
used, and was used for Laura and Dad Lynn. |
|
1. Gain Speed - the ultralight pulls the hang glider
which is on a wheeled sled.
|
2. The lift-off. The wheeled sled is left behind.
The experienced flyer can land on their feet (by running). |
3. The wheeled sled is retrieved for the next
flight. |
