Hang glider
Plane without engine
What is hang gliding?
A hang glider is a kind of ultralight craft with a wing in the shape of a flexible delta, and a harness where you hang like a pro in the sky. It's not a traditional plane, there's no engine in it. No no, a hang glider uses updrafts and the force of the wind to glide. The trick to piloting it is to move the wing in all directions.
How does it work?
Get an idea, it's like an aerial dance with the hang glider:
- Preparation: Before taking off, you have to prepare your hang glider, make sure it is in good condition. After that, you slip into your harness and strap yourself in securely, like a superhero ready to fly.
- Takeoff: You have a takeoff spot in sight, often high up on a slope or hill. And there, you just have to run down the slope, your delta wing takes off gently, and hop, you're in the air!
- Flight: Once in the air, you are the one holding the reins (or rather the controls of the wing). You can go up, down, turn left, turn right, all by moving your body. It's like dancing with the air currents, an incredible feeling!
- Landing: When you're ready to come back to earth, you choose a spot to land gently. By controlling your descent, you land like a pro, without any jolts.
How much does it cost?
As for the money, it depends on a few things, like the brand of the hang glider, the model, and whether you want new or used.
Basically, expect to pay between CAD 3,000 and CAD 8,000 for a quality hang glider . Don't forget the harness and safety equipment.
And if you really want to become a hang glider ace, it's a good idea to take lessons with a certified pro. It can cost between 1,000 and 3,000 CAD , depending on how long it lasts. Oh, and you have to budget for the maintenance of your equipment.
How long does it take to become a hang glider pilot?
The time to become a hang glider pilot depends on you, your motivation, and how much time you have to invest. Basically, you can get your hang glider pilot's license in a few weeks to a few months . The training includes theoretical lessons to understand the basics, then practical flights to feel like a real free bird in the air.
