Expand Your Horizons
Instinct Windsports offers hang gliding training for the aviation enthusiast. Hang Gliding is the easiest and least expensive form of aviation. Using modern hang gliders, and modern hang gliding instruction techniques, Instinct Windsports will quickly have you in the air, learning to hang glide.
In the Air – First Lesson!
Instinct Windsports offers new students a four hour introductory session. You will quickly and safely learn about modern hang gliding training techniques. And, you will get to Fly the Hang Glider YOURSELF, on your first lesson! Your introductory flight will be from flat ground, with little or no wind, and you will stay within 5 feet of the ground as you learn for yourself, how much fun Hang Gliding really is. It’s a great venue to learn how to fly Hang Gliders.
Your Hang Gliding Intro Session includes a brief but thorough instruction about hang gliding including a look at the hang gliding aircraft and equipment.
Scooter-Tow

Hi !
I wanna know what is the best glider for a Mosquito (FLPHG). I have a Falcon 195 and my weight is 230 + 45 pounds (Mosquito)= 275 lbs. The Falcon 195 is for the pilots between 175 and 275 pounds… Is that ok or am I too close of the maximum weight ?
If its not, what kind of wing will be the best for me ? A Sport 2 ?
Thanks for answering me
I’d rather talk with you about this. Call me sometime – 519-635-8847
