Paraglider pilots .... fly further and fly faster! Take the first step to flying Rigid Wing Hang Gliders. Five days of training are offered to existing PG pilots to HG CP(Hill). The qualifying soaring flights can be completed out on the hill with club coaches.Your paragliding experience makes this fast-track conversion very straightforward. Paragliding skills in thermalling and XC transfer fully to the hang glider so you can quickly reach cloudbase and enjoy real airspeed on your new machine.
Hang Gliding Hill Conversion
Spread your wings! If you learnt to fly hang gliders in the flatlands at a tow school you will soon want your hill endorsement. Two days training are offered to achieve your HG (H) rating.
