    I'm buying one soon. What's the clearance supposed to be when you do the hang test?

    • @SVSky
      @SVSky 3 роки тому +2

      As low as you can while not letting your body hit anything through the whole range of motion.

      Getting the harness with the parachute on the side.
      My idea of hang gliding is cutting sea grass.

      I'ma newbie but that 235 looks like an easy flyer. Just placed my order. Liu's video makes me smile.

    Looks like a good choice for the older crowd. I'm 69 with bad ankles and knees and can't really run well anymore, but I could move fast enough and far enough to manage this floater and have a ball the whole time!

    Nice. Paragliders might actually try this

      Hang gliders, not paragliders, big difference, much safer.

      No paraglider pilots won't try it because they wouldn't be able to lift the glider of the ground

      @@fredvachss6567 so true. Hang gliding seems like it’s out of options to find new pilots. The only advantage is high wind and turbulent days.
