To turn, the pilot need only move the control bar a few inches. You have the opportunity to meet the instructor, ask questions, watch videos, and find out more about how you can get involved. There is no need to register, and you are under no obligation to join. HERE for the next Open House date. Hang gliding is no longer just floating from the top of a hill to the bottom, but consists of actually gaining altitude by using rising currents of air.
Prairie hill flying has many advantages over mountain flying.
Smooth accessible launch sites, large landing areas, and consistent weather conditions make flying safe and enjoyable. The river valleys near Minnedosa and Morden in Manitoba, and the Qu'Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan offer excellent soaring and cross country flying. Tow launching provides the most convenient and accessible flying for local pilots. The Prairie Wind Flight Park near Warren, Manitoba is only a 20 minute drive northwest of Winnipeg, so pilots can come out after work to enjoy an evening flight. You are welcome to come out and watch us fly.
