Our series of articles on hang glider prices have now led to a discussion about innovation and who was the innovator. Steve Pearson from Wills Wing has responded to a claim from Moyes: "...we were the ones to introduce carbon tubing and new Mylar alternatives,..." with claims of his own as well as a look at history.

I hope that out of this back and forth we can gain a clearer picture of all the great innovations that underlie the hang gliders that we are privileged to fly today. While I realize there is a bit of a rivalry here, but I'm focusing on getting the information out and trying to resolve the issues not stir up resentments.

No one has done this before. The Oz Report is out ahead looking at the deep history of hang gliding and what makes these machine so unique and interesting. I hope that Oz Report readers appreciate our efforts. And, of course, show their appreciation through their support of our efforts.
