Neither the
DHV nor the
Segelflugszene version (yup, there appears to be two versions now) are
working (at least for me). The 2007 HOLC was supposed to start on September
15th, 2006, but nothing shows up after the end of September on the DHV version
here. Clicking the "2007" button last week... mehr

Warum stürzt man sich mit 35 Kilo Nylon und Alu von tausend Meter hohen Bergen? Peter Schließmann vom Drachen- und Gleitschirmfliegerverein ?Drachenflug Unterland? lächelt. ?Ich wollte einfach fliegen?, sagt er. Deshalb kaufte er sich schon im Frühjahr 1976 seinen ersten Drachen. Im Herbst gründete er dann mit sieben Mitstreitern den... mehr

Joe Greblo, he of flaring after you land fame, was telling me

reminds me that while hang gliders don't have rudders while they are in the air,
they do when you are on the ground. With your feet on the ground you can yaw
your glider to balance it. You are not... mehr

When the DHV was approached with the idea of supporting scooter
towing, they didn't see the point. After all there had been plenty of winch
towing over the years in Germany and it hadn't done anything to save hang
gliding from its precipitous decline. What was new about this approach?
It's so funny when you think you know something as you've... mehr
