I am a brand-new hang glider pilot with three flights off Lookout Mountain and I'm thinking about what to buy.

Maybe ya'll could tell me if this makes sense:

I'm looking at a nice used Sky Cycle with a Falcon 225 for about $5k. The justification goes something like this:

  • The nearest hang gliding launch is a couple hours away, but the local county unattended airstrip is just down the road. It would be awesome to fly the Sky Cycle from there. (after I get trained and qualified of course)
  • I'm 215 pounds and I trained on the Falcon 195. As I understand it, I could also use the Falcon 225 wing as a nice buoyant hang glider to foot launch off the mountain.


I wish I could get a two-place so I could take my sweetie with me, but my budget limits me to part 103 for now.

Thanks,
Jeff
