How do you launch and land a tandem hang gliding flight?

All of the tandems are towed up behind an ultralight airplane that was designed specifically for towing hang gliders. This means that your tandem flight will launch and land on wheels. Both you and your tandem pilot will be flying, launching and landing in a prone, lying down position. No running involved.

Can I bring my camera?

You can bring your camera with you on the flight. They cannot risk the possibility of you dropping or damaging your camera, so you will not be allowed to take pictures. Instead just enjoy your flight, check out the beautiful view, learn how to steer the glider. They will take the pictures for you ($25 charge).

How fast do you fly?

The trim speed of a hang glider is about 18-20 MPH. Trim speed is defined as the speed a glider is flying when the pilot is flying hands off.  Most gliders stall at around 15 MPH, are towed at about 33-35 MPH, and reach top speeds of 45-65 MPH (depending upon the glider model).

What is the difference between a hang gliding and para gliding?
Unlike the rigid airframe that shapes the wing of a hang glider, a paragliding wing is maintained only by air pressure.  This means that the hang glider wing is more stable and can be flown at higher speeds and in a larger range of wind conditions.  Para glider pilots fly in a supine or seated position unlike hang glider pilots who fly in prone (laying down) position.
