Who? What? Where? When? How? Results? Foundations? Plans? How much?
Facebook presence? Broken links? Testimonies? Relation to "https://www.facebook.com/ThunderbirdVacationRentalsAndAdventureTours"? What might be originally manufactured or not? Dealers? Tour agency? Depth? Extent?
In 2016: "We provide quality,safe,affordable hang gliding Equipment"

In 2013: "Hang Gliding lessons this weekend. Limited space available"

Is Teddy Mack related to the history of this present topic? Or not? https://www.linkedin.com/in/teddy-mack-bb12a66/

we are finishing up the design stage and test flying of carbon fiber tandem gliders.. we are going to manufacture the dream in both aluminum and carbon fiber. our goal is to revolutionize hang gliding by creating a product that can serve both affluent hang glider pilots and common folk like me like me that can't afford a new glider every year.


Fact checking might be advised over matters found at http://all-aero.com/index.php/45-planes ... ites-dream
as the following:
The Dream was a 1985 hang glider.

Delta king kites and Gliders was bought by Teddy Mack in 1991 and renamed Air Sports International.
(not to be confused with magazine of same name)
See comments on page: https://www.delta-club-82.com/bible/73- ... -dream.htm Teddy commented in 2004 on that page.
===============
Teddy, consider also entering the "Tiny-Packable (busable polite with dimension less than 5-ft in length) Hang Glider Movement" for serving a new sector of the hang gliding community. Consider making a conservative-performance hang glider that can politely be carried by pilot handily on city public buses in one or two carried packs; the market will be generally different, but there will be overlap, my guess.

Teddy, maybe bring us up to date on matters! :!: :?: :idea:
