The lamented sails in hand gliders are being made by polyester film that achieves a superior performance by simply using a stretch material to better maintain the shape of the sail but lightweight. The problem however, is that polyester fabric has a reduced elasticity due to the load that will result in less responsive and stiff handlings. They do not have the same durability as woven fabrics. The advantage of Aero Tow Hang Gliding NC is that individuals can spend their time flying in the air and enjoy the view and scenery.

Do not launch unless the roll is already balanced or there is equal pressure on the wings and the nose angle is correct. Make sure the cart will set the glider into proper pitch. The tow bridle, instruments, cords and harness should not be caught with the cart.

Talk to locals. Never fly directly without consulting the expertise of locals. They know the site much more that you do. Talk about the conditions and weigh their opinions heavily. Be physically and mentally ready. Never fly especially fatigued or less mental and physical aspect than required.
