Hi Michael, What is the rope or string used for on right hand side of some hand gliders? what does it adjust? Here's a hand gliding video I thought you might like: th-cam.com/video/aYhF8ZrSHqM/w-d-xo.html
That's the VG (variable geometry) adjustment. Tightening or loosening this changes the angle of the leading edges. Tightening increases the glide performance at the expense of responsiveness.
Thanks for the great Vids brother! I was an original member of SNYHGPA back in the day. We always went to the Eagles Nest after a day of flying!
