Hang Gliding again at Last!

Posted on: 16/07/2008 by enzo 2 Comments

Airwave calypso hang glider partially riggedI have just acquired an Airwave Calypso hang glider from a friend of mine in florence. It is a used glider, but is in very good condition, and I am looking forward to flying it in the Autum.Having rigged the hang glider and done a visual inspection, it is looks good, i also had it checked by an instructor who gave it the thumbs up.I have 2 days booked with my hang gliding instructor in August where I will be converting to a chest release which will allow me to fly with a local hang gliding club. Not having my own hang glider has meant that I have not flown since I qualified back in december 2005, so I will be using the 2 days to polish up my skills and get used to the chest release and harness which I should get before my scheduled training in August.

I will be doing another blog update to let you know how it all went.

    Bet handgliding is pretty good fun. Good luck with the two days refresher!
