The wind was very low, so all I got out of that flight was some speed and no lift! If there was a bit more wind I would've been able to slow right down while pointing into the wind. Sleddies can be fun!
Tushar Pokle it’s just that both of my hang gliders (‘70s) were made before the modern gliders were designed to have high speed range capability. I had a Sunflower, by Elecraflyer; and an Alpha 215 by wills wings. They needed to fly slow. You guys are lucky !!!
I can’t get over how fast the modern gliders are flown.
