WHAT IS NEXT ?
The TPHG 4.6 (Glifter) was the first project. Regarding the enthusiasm worldwild for this 1.4 meters long packed hang glider and all the comments (the positives and the others), I'd like to upgrade the original TPHG 4.6 by improving the sail shape, lightening the structure (from 27kg to less tant 23kg), and strengthen the structure to be DHV certified.
But other projects are on the table...
First of all, I would like to make a special hang glider for childrens (8-12yo) to play (not to fly), runing with, feeling the take-off of the sail and pushing up to stop the movement. All that with at least a helmet on ! Think about, if you were a kid playing with this huge toy, wouldn't you dream to become a hang glider pilot once ?
Second, I do want every single new model to be DHV certified. Improving the TPHG 4.6 is one
of the projects. The two others hang gliders I'm thinking about are for one to be very light (hopefuly
less than 15kg), easy to set up or pack in less than 20 minutes and packed into a
bag less than 4 meters (~13ft) long. For the other, the main goal is to be able to travel with you
on an airplane for free (no extra fees) and this means less than 23kg (with the harness) and less than 1.8m long.
