facthunter Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Something"UNREAL" about that. Attitudes and control positions didn't seem to coordinate with what was going on.. Nev 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfly Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 It's not all fun, though. I see that apart from hang-glider towing, the Dragonfly has been put to work crop-spraying. (Not that that wouldn't be fun, too. ; -) CLICK PIC FOR FULL REZ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eXAkUNOsaM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlegm Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I'm hopefully going to learn to fly one of these soon to do some hangglider towing. Can't wait, looks like an incredibly fun little aircraft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 A friend of mine lived next door to a Hughes 500 chopper pilot of some repute, and reported that he would take lady friends up and do daring things for a bit, then land and they would go indoors for a long time............) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait, looks like an incredibly fun little aircraft. You may have seen this one already; Bobby Bailey putting his design through its paces in Nepal. From the YT description: "The Dragonfly Rancher is “The Most Versatile Light Aircraft in the World.” And quite likely, be the most fun you will ever have. The Bailey Moyes Dragonfly was first introduced in 1989 by the “Godfather” of Hang Gliding, Bill Moyes. And, quickly gained the reputation as the best aircraft for towing Hang Gliders aloft worldwide. With little surprise, as aero towing was what Booby Bailey designed it for." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
