Experience Hang Gliding in Michigan and beyond
Fly with Rick using our scooter tow winch system. Scooters are converted to stationary, ground based tow systems. The rear wheel is replaced by a spool that can hold up to 5000 feet of synthetic line. The line runs down the runway through a pulley and back towards the unit. The end is attached to the student and glider. This allows the student to be next to the winch operator (instructor).
With just a gentle pull from the scooter tow, the student is lifted off the ground. The student will experience small short flights and low altitudes in the beginning. From there, progressing to higher and longer flights with more experience.
