Awesome
Lovely video Mike! Also Enjoy seeing the Highveld.
What a divine happy passenger ! Well done Deryn, A wonder to hear your Joy! Dad is a super relaxed guy.
Lekker Michael! :)
Do you have any plans for this thing? Looks like I'm going to have to build one... :) Any help/info would be appreciated.
Weiss Drache No sorry, there are no plans. we built this dolly to use for launching gliders from roads that other dollys tend to run off sideways before the glider gets airborne. the driver of the dolly can steer the dolly straight down the road so that the pilot can launch safely. we found it a valuable asset in our club for retrieving glider pilots who land far away from landing zone. we also put side shafts on to support Atos wings on take off. these can be removed when regular flex wings are using it.
Weiss Drache we used a small cars steering rack n pinion and steering universal joints. and a 50cc two stroke honda scooter engine
Thanks for the info... I'll be sharing this idea with my club for sure.
I can't stop listening to this music.
Fix your vario bracket Ephert! ;) Otherwise great job!
that's awesome ephert! congratulations!
Oh my gosh! Who is the tug pilot?
nicely hang glider and movement
nice movement
you think that might feel scary just hanging in the harness two feet off ground it does it gives you the real feeling of flying I did a simulator
Dude died in a hang gliding accident, WHAT AN IDIOT! Hahaha "Ahhh I'm hang gliding honey take a picture I'M DEAD!" Hahaha
yes, yes wasbak! You can do it! Great vid man!
The ending nod has two support paddles witch will press to a downtubes upper parts, so it wont fall, but as i didint notice the upward-lift-limitation paddles, so it can lift, as stronger wind blows.Thats how i understand it.
What kind of a glider was he flying? It looked like an intermediate one to me.
Thanks, Mike, this is very instructive. My foremost rule during my hang gliding years was to always fly a little bit faster than necessary. If Williem could speak, I believe he'd want all hang glider pilots to see this. The first thing I noticed was the sloppy pitch control on the takeoff run. The second thing was the head-high posture prior to initiating the right-hand turn. I think that screwed up his sense of proper angle of attack and led to the sudden tip stall and fatal side-slip.

South African by any chance? haha
good work sir nice idea thanks
Congratulations from Quito Ecuador, Projects like yours can evolutionize Hang Gliders and should have the sponsorship of very enthusistic Hang Glider companys like Moyes or Wills Wing, because with more students there are more posibilities in the future they will buy gliders
Mike - Many thanks for making this freely available. the HG community owes you!
@petr0vsk you very welcome. it works like a charm, best asset in my school
push out on tow...yikes. 0552 stall crash edited out lol, flying very slow on landings dude.
Very cool - I like the systematic training approach.
could just buy the wifi remote from the gopro web site xD
Wow great video - you can really see the benefits of having a winch. (Steve)
Dude you need my camera adapter soooooo bad. check it out! Look at readymaderc under go pro accessories
Did you try Gopro bus pin 12 to ground - it will act like a remote without all the mechanic stuff. Perhaps you needed something else? Just got the Hero2 and am trying to get it going as a car DVR, would be great for the mean streets of Joburg to capture those carjacking!
Умелец!
It looked to me like he was flying to slow. He was not properly in prone when he iniated his turn. He definitely stalled the inside wing when turning and lost allot of height in doing so. This is also a relatively old glider with old technology. I suppose the effect of a stall could have been more agressive comparred to a beginners glider like a falcon. Always fly with enough speed aspecially if you cannot afford to stall your glider. My condolences to the family and friends. Its very sad
Congratulations Christoff I wish you many safe and happy hours of flying. Well done.
Sad to know you have gone Billy..... Great memories.... Dave Woody Harpdoodle
Great idea mate, take a look at the Drift Innovation HD 170, it's got everything a GOPRO has and alot more.
Long time ago a friend of mine told me that when you learn to fly, is like ride a bike, you never forget...! but, according to reeflyingspike, we have seen that's is not truth, a ten years breaks from hang gliding is a very long time... Any way, wherever a hang glider or a paraglider pilot get hurt, one feel very sad... Not matter how far you are.. I feel very sorry...
Willem was returning to flying from a 10 year break from the sport, on recent flights witnessed by myself he's turns were getting too close to the hill and sometimes when in lift turned towards the hill and not away from it. he was warned by fellow pilots and myself to stay clear from the hill but unfortunately never took our advice to heart, paying dearly for it. All relevant equipment was checked after the accident and found to be in perfect working order. our condolences. Mike Spike
Sorry to hear this and sad news and it is another loss to our sport. Any comments about the pilots' experience level and conditions on the day? It looked about 10mph on the hill and thermic. The glider appeared to encounter lift on rhs, nose lifted and the LH wing appeared to stall with a consequntial LH turn.
what appened to this boy ? it like very serious accident
