Beautiful machine, unbelievable technology and performance. Hard to believe US pilots still flying their old rogallos. If Dustin and Jonny had been on these, the Open Distance Record would be 700 miles. The real advantage of a rigid wing however, is not on record days, but the ability to turn average flying conditions into epic days.
And towing with Ultralights are easy and safe in comparision with an Flex Wing. You have to Imagine, you have an Footlaunchable Sailplane, with the Transportably of a Hangglider.
This is H3 friendly. Probably with 25 hours. You can learn to use it much earlier if you live somewhere like Germany with ATOS everywhere but for others, better to be good with single surface and transition. I did it that way.
May I propose a little enhancement? As I am looking at this video I recall that my friend broke one of his flaps. It happened because of the slack the wing has in relation to keel while it is being setup and one of the flaps was compressed against its fellow upright and bent until cracked :( I think that it can be avoided at all if the flaps were built from two pieces like first spoiler is.
I am having my best flying experience ever with this wing

Is this wing okay for a beginner/novice to own, or is it only intended for highly experienced pilots to fly?

不知道适合新手驾驶吗？还是得经验丰富的飞行员驾驶？
