At Hang Glide Chicago we pride ourselves on teaching you to hang glide whether you take one lesson or purchase an entire lesson package. When your tandem lesson is over you will have flown a hang glider most of the flight. Our tandem instructors will make sure your flight is safe and smooth. We only instruct during optimal flying conditions. Our aero towing approach to hang gliding assures that you will get the most out of each lesson and learn the sport quickly.
Many students are able to fly on their own after only a few lessons.
As you gain experience you can choose more and more challenging conditions to fly in with the instructors guidance. In one tandem lesson from 3,000 feet you will have more air time then you would in weeks of hill training. Some of Hang Glide Chicago's recently soloed pilots.

You will leave you with a sense of wonderment and begin your journey to becoming three dimensional with a slow descent from 3000 feet in our tandem hang glider with an instructor.
