![]() ![]() If you have made it this far you are probably going to tell me off like I usually get. With some help along the way some determination and a bit of luck I know I can pull it off. ![]() I am familiar with working with ripstop nylon (NPW9b, its a kite incase you didn't know) and I can generally figure things out on my own. So I am familiar with steel and have a welder to accomplish any welds neccesary, although the frame I am looking at (oh yeah btw I want to built a HG) will be mostly aluminum. I currently power kite and have spent almost $1500 on crap for that (If only I had known!!!!! I could have my P2 right now!!!!) So I'm not trying to toot my own horn but I can build stuff: Attempt #2 was much more logical with still PVC duct tape and a tarp but at least I went triangle!!!!! It had all the components of a HG but crappy, I had lines tie in point everything!!! So I went to a steep hill ran felt some tug jumped lifted off my weight was too far back I stalled and the whole thing exploded (curse PVC!!!!) so here I am 2 years after that realizing that the job I got a the supermarket for $6.91 an hour wasn't going to get my closer to PG any time in the near future. I made a square 50foot^2 rectangle and I was "going to fly like a bird with a back mounted wing" OMG!!! what was I thinking!!!? K so duh that didnt work just flopped and knocked the wind out of myself. So I started to look at making a hang glider, and yes I went the PVC duct tape and tarp route as I was 13 years old. I then discovored paragliders and still would rather do that, but sewing a paraglider seems a bit out of the question. I originally wanted to hang glide as free flight was the closest you can get to true flight in my opinion. I know you are already starting to panic right? Well please don't!!! As you might have guessed by my username I need to fly!!!! I have always wanted to since I can remember. Hello my name is Nick Burden and I am 16 years old. ![]()
