When people think about hang gliding, they all tend to ask the same questions . This web site is here to answer those questions and give you a better idea of what is involved in learning to fly a hang glider.
This web site does not pretend to be a definitive guide, nor is it an instruction manual. It will not tell you how to fly a hang glider, you have to go to a school to learn how to do that. It is here to give you some idea of what's involved in learning to fly a hang glider and to give you an overall look at a great sport. There is also a section on powered hang gliding. This involves having a small engine built in to the hang gliding harness which will give you the freedom to takeoff from flat fields. Site Author - John O'Neill

Frequently Asked Questions about Hang Gliding Fred Vachss, skypig@vachss.risc.rockwell.com 1. Basic Performance Questions A. How do you steer? B. How high/far can a hang glider go? ... F. How to get more information 1. BASIC PERFORMANCE QUESTIONS: A. How do you steer Hang gliders are controlled by shifting the pilot's weight with respect to the glider. Pilots are suspended from a hang strap connected to the glider's frame (hence the name "hang" glider). By moving forward and backward and side to side at the end of this hang strap, the pilot alters the center of gravity of the glider. This then causes the glider to pitch or roll in the direction of the pilot's motion and thus allows both speed control and turning. B. How high/far can a hang glider go This depends a lot on the conditions in which they are flown, but flights in excess of 300 miles in length and altitudes of well over 17,999 ft. MSL have been recorded. More typically, pilots in the summer in the western US will frequently achieve altitudes of 5,000 to 10,000 ft AGL and fly for over 100 miles.
