Loved the video Bill. Keep em coming :)

Interesting you should mention gyros. I had a ride in one a month ago and was very impressed with how smooth they are. I think they would be a viable alternative, especially out in the bush. The problem is the well built ones are north of $100,000.

Hi Frank, Yes, it is a lot of fun to fly. I am thinking a move to 3 axis as I believe I would have more opportunity to fly when it's too strong for the trike. But for the time being I am happy with the options I have at the moment. Richard

Hi Nev, Yes, basic but well engineered and using aircraft grade materials and hardware. The wing is a beefed up version of the popular Airborne floater wing F2 190. Its manufactured in Oz just south of Newcastle. It doesn't have all the comforts of a larger and more expensive aircraft but it's my ride into the sky. It's a lot of fun. In fact the journey learning to fly hang gliders was incredible. I'm sure I will continue to hang glide no matter where my journey takes me. Richard

Hi, I started flying later in life, choosing to begin with hang gliders.I am now 2 years along this path and I have gained my power endorsement and bought a T-Lite trike a few months ago. I am a member of the HGFA and I am enjoying hang gliding on the coast and using the motor for outback adventures :) Lately, I have been toying with the idea of 3-Axis flying and I am thinking of joining my local gliding club (Mangrove Mountain, central Coast?). I think I would like to eventually purchase my own glider or ultralight. I am still trying to work out where I want to end up. I would think something that I could transport by trailer and set up and fly with minimal assistance. Maybe an x-Air/ultralight or upgrade to a larger trike. Who knows! As they say, 'its all about the journey' ! [GALLERY=media, 3843]T-Lite by hyphoktm posted Dec 11, 2016 at 3:31 PM[/GALLERY]
