Hang Glider as New Aircraft?

Post by Jackieb12003 » Mon Jun 15, 2020 8:01 pm

Hi,
I fly hang gliders and noticed that the SG38 has about the same L/D (8:1) as a lower-performance hang glider. Modern hang gliders have a performance range of about 7:1 to 19:1 (rigid wing). Would these type of aircraft fit into the Condor program if someone was willing to take the time to develop them?

Thanks for any feedback.

I would like to see an Archaeopteryx in the club class. Its performance is between an Ka8 and an Ka6. https://www.ruppert-composite.ch/home

As a new hang glider student pilot, I would buy this sim immediately were it to include even a couple of hang gliders. That and native support for stream VR / valve index. Just tell me when and please take my money. 🙂.

Press Ctrl (or alt..not quite sure)+F1 twice and it will get rid of the plane....feels pretty much like parasailing for me but it could feel like hang gliding for you
