Radio Control Hang Glider

[LarryF]

I just stumbled upon this one. If a motor/prop was added it could be interesting.

The "swing body" in intriging. Not enough for me to order one yet though.

This looks interesting. There have been a few rogallo wing planes that have shown up in RC Microflight. One intersting one was a Lite Stick with a rogallo wing on it.

Wattage has one called a "Voyager" coming out in mid September that looks similar to their "Sky Surfer" free flight. It is about $99 complete with motor, nicads, radio control, etc. It looks like it may be very stable and easy to fly. So, I have one on back order for my 4-year old when it comes out in September. This may solve the problem of a boy who wants to fly his dad's RC planes but doesn't have the skills yet. I'll post what my and his experiences are when we get it.

Hobbico is coming out with its own rogallo wing, the Sky Sailer. It will go for $99 at Tower Hobbies.

It is amazing how much the radio controlled hang gliders have evolved in the previous years, I'm looking now for a new hang glider for a friend who is new to the subject and this looks almost old fashioned.

Hi Annie,

I'm a little confused by your statements. The site that you reference is for actual paragliding and has nothing to do with R/C as far as I could tell. This forum is for R/C flight. Can you be a little more specific as to what exactly you are looking for?
