Today's forecast was not good for hang gliding, but I still got just over an hour of airtime!
My neighbor, Greg has a homebuilt 2000 Kitfox. It has a 100 hp two-stroke engine, allowing it to climb easily and cruise nicely at about 80-90 knots.
We buzzed Short Divide launch, then flew past Gunsight Peak. The stick/flaperons & elevator and footpedal/rudder controls are quite responsive, requiring minimal control input.
We flew around the valley for about an hour, spotted two young bald eagles, cruised low over numerous waterways, then banked it up over our neighborhood, before heading back to the airport.
