WELCOME INTO THIS NEW CHAPTER
OF THE HANG GLIDING HISTORY !



My name is Florian, I'm a gunsmith in Switzerland (KUGS.CH) and my first hang gliding experience was June 3rd 2023. The first hang glider I made is named TPHG 4.6, or Glifter, and it flew for the first time on Monday November 18th 2024 at Dockweiler, Los Angeles, California, USA with a bunch of confirmed pilots, like Andy B. and Bob B. from Windsports.com, Joe F. (USHGA #5) and writer of "Low & Slow" Magazine (1971 - 1973, 24 issues), RJ K., Erika K. (Facebook and Youtube) and Bob K. owner of USHawks.org and by whom we are lucky to be able to fly on Monday and Tuesday at Dockweiler.

Before this, I found Joe F. on Youtube with his video posted in 2015 saying he wanted to make a tiny packed hang glider (TPHG) of 5 feet on US Hawks Forum. So my sharing started on this forum with my post of July 8th 2024. My goal was to pack my hang glider in a 1.4m (4.6ft) long bag. Easy to carry and to travel with, it is done ! Thank's to Thomas F. from Finsterwalder Charly in Germany to have provided me 7075 aluminium tubes and sharing very important details of his 50 years of hang gliding experiences !
