Be sure to check out Stan's flight here, you won't be sorry as long as you have a broadband connection.

An amazing opportunity presented itself on April-14-2008 in Ellenville, New York. I Stan Roberts, completely unexpectedly, set the new, New York State cross Country Rigid Wing Hang Gliding record of 177 miles from Ellenville, NY to the Jersey shore. Ellenville Flight Park is a foot launch site at only 1,380 MSL. We (Dave Hopkins and I; Stan) only have about 900 Feet to work with to initially get up before getting drilled = (landing way before intention) We did not tow up to 2,500' AGL. We ran off the hill at not quite 900' AGL.
