U.S. Hawks Pendulum Sailplane Association
Something to capture the imagination of new recruits. Something new and exciting!
USHPA will have a cow. They only have hang gliders and para gliders.
I'm serious. The press will go nuts. "What's a pendulum sailplane? That sounds interesting!"

Why fly a hang glider with the old USHPA when you can fly a pendulum sailplane with the new US Hawks Pendulum Sailplane Association?

Goodbye negative image!
You'll have to go to USHPA for that one, now.

If we don't all hang together we just might hang separately.   ;)

You're sharp!     :P
We could just make Pendulum-Sailplane one word and drop the "S". :twisted:

Oh, but what about -

Ultralight Soaring Association

U.S.A. for short! You can't get much more patriotic than that. :D

I don't know.
There is so much pendulum action going on with paragliding that I'd rather associate PG with the term.
IMHO, foot launched pilot-in-wing gliders are a real possibility. The pendulum meme would not apply at all to these.

Yes, I always associate pendulum flying with paragliders.
