Hang gliding is an air sport that is both recreational and competitive. It is closely related to paragliding and flying sailplanes, but uses less expensive equipment comprising fabric wings and a pilot suspended from a wing frame and shifting control by body weight. The southeast region of Queensland, which includes Brisbane, abounds in hang gliding clubs and associations of both hang glider and paraglider pilots, committed to the expansion of free flight. Usually the weather conditions are cooperative all round the year and international competitions are organized pretty often.
Suitable to pilots of all experience levels, everyone, right from beginners to advanced pilots can apply. The former will rocket the ridges and lift the flight a few hundred feet above the hill whereas the latter can ascend to about 10,000 feet in thermals and fly cross country as far as the Whites Hill and the Stephens Mountain. Hang gliding is a perennial sport activity that runs from the spectacular Gold Coast. Set the glider up and learn all about the basics of the flight and what it counts to be a hang glider pilot.
The flight is open to all who is 14 and above. You will be given to run a short distance and should be capable of following and carrying out simple instructions. The weight bar is 80 kilos for the passenger. Here, you will be taken through the risks of the sport and be given lessons in launching the glider and taken through all the safety aspects.
Flying like the eagles is a worthwhile experience and you are definitely going to hold it dear especially once you get the flavor of flight and learn to look at the skies in a whole new way.
