A paradigm shift in hang glider construction, setup and teardown.


Setups up and tears down faster than a paraglider

Just today while on a phone call to Washington State I was told that North Wing is working on and has already had on the test truck a training glider with an inflated leading edge that will fold up with the battens left in.
Would this be the one?

Frank,
I tried to find a link on Youtube but had no luck.
I was told the new training glider can fly so slow that you can walk along beside it.

OP posted an "edited" version of the first half of that video concentrating on the Northwing X glider. The baton glider was at the end and edited out.
