Yeah, we put the 914 on it, for summer operations. It climbs like a beast, even with the density altitude is above 10k’. I honestly think it goes up faster than it goes forward. 🤠
Previous HG/sailplane/power pilot with tailwheel endorsement, always wanted to tow hang gliders using this platform. The only two sites I found are in FL, both ignoring my repeated inquiries. I guess they have more than enough tow pilots in queue, so newcomers not desired. But I already know it would be a lot of fun and too bad, I'd be a natural at this!
Yeah, you would love it! Right now towing operations for hire are in a tight spot. Ed Pitman passed away and Pitman Air is not operating, which makes all of the LSA operations shutdown (more or less)
That’s a good question-Ed Pitman passed away, and Bobby Bailey(designer) has been taking up slack kinda. I understand that there may be someone buying the business and starting production again.
El mejor ULM de la historia.. robusto, acrobático 100%, económico y hasta muy estético..
I guess there’s an outfit in Florida that resumed production.
2:46 That was one mighty push--it made the hang glider take off and climb almost as well as the Dragonfly which took off before it!

I love flying. Wish I still did it.
Here in Wisconsin they also tow hang gliders with a Dragonfly. :)
That’s very cool! I used to know some Wisconsin HG pilots, back in the day.
Awesome!!

Hello Mister. Do you know maybe if this aircraft company is still producing the dragonfly brand new?? Because this is exactly what im looking for
Well, unfortunately Ed Pitman passed away, so I am hoping that someone will start producing again.
There is a similar model called Chinook
The Dragonfly has moved to Florida!

Try conting Moyes Delta Gliders . They should have contacts with Dragonflyer information.
Шедевр.
I like to watch them a lot yes
So this video ended up being my buddy’s last flight. He is doing all the towing.
