Crawfords Hang Gliding with a NEW Glider!
Спорт
070424 - This was my first time flying my new(to me) WW UltraSport 147, It was pretty exciting to be flying a slightly higher performance glider and also just an incredible day to fly the Crawfords. The flight was about 1 hour 20 minutes and I got to up over 10,600' which is a great day for me! I also flew most of the way to Randolf the city near by and just had a lot of fun exploring the valley and the new glider! Thanks for hangin' out

It has been many years since I flew the Crawfords, but I will never forget the mosquitos in the landing area. Bigger and hungrier than any I have ever come up against.
Wow , really? Great!

@jonlindburg3277 a long time ago, in a place far away, swings seats and truncated tips, who could ever forget.......
Can you go higher with this glider or is there a cut off point❓ How long can you stay in the air is there a limitation or just carry on❓

@nxesr not necessarily, but this glider is a slightly higher performance glider, so for every foot I go down I go a little further forwards. So it is easier to get to a higher altitude because when I'm just more efficient over all. If I fly much higher I'll need oxygen, that's the next real limitation. Oxygen is recommended over 12,000', and flight is prohibited above 18,000' because that belongs to the commercial airlines. I personally have never truly needed oxygen since I've only flown to 11,600' but even up there a jacket is required if you plan to stay long. Also you can stay up as long as the sun is up, but I usually get tired after about 2 hours or so.
