We are trained to fly much stronger conditions than PG usually handles. The pattern is usually that PG flies in light conditions and once it is getting stronger, HG takes over. We can handle 20+mph wind launch easily. We enjoy 1000ft/minute thermals and not need to worry about 1500ft/minute sink. Otherwise, both HG & PG are absolutely amazing way to enjoy soaring. Personally since I started HG, I have already built deep trust with HG equipments. When I looked at multiple PG collapse incidents right in front of me, I got scared. I don't trust PG's soft canopy in the turbulence.
@@Hangglide Totally agree. Hence my question, why PG at all? If not for the PG noise, I think this would have been one of the best educational videos you ever uploaded. The PG shots feel like annoying commercials in the middle of an otherwise excellent movie.
@@kavehvejdani8796 I can't speak as a pilot, but I think one of the appealing attributes of paragliding is the hike and fly thing that they do, where they hike with the paraglider wing in their backpack, up a hill, and then unpack it and fly, land, and hike again. But as for floating around a park area, I dunno. I guess they like the feel of it? Different strokes/folks. Personally, I think hang gliders are the coolest invention ever.

Question is, why PG when you could HG?

@@kavehvejdani8796 HAHAHAHA... I see your point... I just want to keep an open mind for them :D

刘哥您好，我在RUclips上关注hanggliding很久，最近才发现您的频道。想咨询几个问题，我刚用malibu2完成初级培训，想飞蚊子。初级翼好起飞，但速度可能比较慢，总还是要升级到中级翼。我看中了willswing的sport3，它有精美的配色方案。

willswing的sport3和moyes的gecko，主要用于搭配蚊子飞行，他们之间的差异大么？如果在美国购买一架，并运输到中国，运费及关税总计大概要多少人民币？我看到美国的二手中级翼也很便宜，性价比特别高，这样的翼可以购买么？有没有需要甄别注意的方面？非常感谢您！
你和国内的“我在飞”俱乐部有联系吗？他们代理moyes的滑翔机。我的一个朋友飞powered hanggliding，但是他说发动机系统经常发生故障。我不熟悉美国购物运送中国的操作.
是的，我9月份于“我在飞”毕业，这边可以买到moyes，我不清楚sport3与gecko有多大的性能差异，外国或许有飞过这两款翼型的。中国目前好像没有sport3翼主，而且sport3有很漂亮的配色方案，所以我在综合研判购买哪款滑翔翼。
