- Skeena hang-gliders born by DaVinci Skecna Hang Gliders are. meparing for the fourth’ annual B,C, Open Flight Campetition, which is to take place on June 17th and 18th . from Thornhill Mountain. Thornhill's jong ‘Soaring Ridge” is a favorite with ayers {from all gver Canada. With the prevailing wind blowing along the Kitmat ‘Valley and surging up the slopes of Thornhill Mountain . & 80 called “Lift Band’ is created which rises welt over ’ the highest elevation. The skilled Hang Glider Pilot can make extensive use’ of this phenomenon. Gliders have reaced altitudes of well over 500 it. above the top of the moun- tain (4867 ft.), which means that they have climbed about 2500 ft. from their launchsite at the 2000 ft. level. Some also have cruised the full length of the whole range, from the big Rock Bluff at the north end of the ridge to liams Creek at the south diand back. This is “Soaring” in it’s ‘purest form, Three Canadian Endurance Records were flown in this manner by Lance Edgeon, a former resident of Terrace, No wind however, no soaring. In calm weather it takes less than 10 minutes to . @ide the 2500 ft. vertical distance between take-off and landing site. The Landing Field is on Thornhill Street, just a few hundred feet from the Old Lakelse Drive toward the Golf Course and spectators will have an excellent view of filghts and landings. Admission |5 free, Radio Communication between launch site and target is being provided by the local Tomahawk Tribe GRS (General Radio Ser- vice) who also take care of a concession stand with a variety of refreshments. Hang Gliding - What you _ should lnow about it For almost eight years now Hang Gliding has been the worlds fastest growing new sport. It is the closest thing yet to imitating the birds. It is flying in the true sense of the word, of which there are not nearly enough to describe the feelings, fascination and thrills produced by a soundless soaring flight along a mountgin.: ridge, . valleys: forests: meaddws.” Hang Gliding beings the age of flight to the public, it - makes personal flight available without high materia] cost and expensive student Instruction. For the hardy sportsman it can be a year: round activity, depending on locality, wind and weather conditions, The Hang Gliding Association of Canada with its provincial representative organisations has been recognized by the Ministry of Transport as the regulating body for this new sport. It has recently established an Instructor Certificatior- Program to. assure a high professional standard of instruction. Schools and ,abave a and ta individual instructors in this province will have to be certified by the Hang Gilding Ascociation of B.C.- Also intreduced was a Glider Pilot Rating System with log ‘Books to be kept by the in- dividual flyers plus written and flight exams to be taken. Hang Gliding is nota sport someone would want to take up for lack of something else to doin his or her spare time and it is not an activity you would aim on doing merely for the fun and thrill of it. Only the highly motivated person, after endless hours of practising, can ever hope to become an entity with glider and elements. It takes more ‘than the average amount of enthusiasm to carry a 40 to 50 Ihe, Glider through brush or snow to sometimes remote launch sites, The first Hang Glider design toappear on the scene was a brain child of Leonarde da Vinci, the famous artist, engineer and architect of the 15th century. It was however never con- structed and flown. Much later, during the last 3 decades of the past century and the first of the present one, a number of aviation pioneers experimented serlously with gliders . of various types. The Wright Brothers original design was a Hang Glider. After hun- dreds of experimental flights they arrived at their ultra- light airframe into which they eventually mounted an engine. This sent aviation technology galloping off madly in all directions, And this is why right now there is more known about super- sonic flight than abouthow to stay airborne with a glider at dow speed. The standard Hang Glider or Kite in its present form was developed shortly after the last war by N.AS.A. scientist Francis M. Rogallo. The early kites however were used for towing with water skis, Hang Gilding in its modern form did not get under way until the mid: sixties and not until the carly seventies did it catch onat a oticeable rate. Bu it has been a whirlwind developement ever since, Most of the gliders you will enjoy watching on their fiignt from the 3000 it. level t areacare already hand ‘ifth generation “tistgns, They have wide nose angles and stiffened, flatter wings that more cloaely resenble bird wints. The standard Rogallo kit ith its pointed. nose and billowing wing sall has by now been phased out, How dangerous is Hang ‘Gilding? “Aviation is not in itself inherently dangerous. But it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, in- capacity and-or neglect.” This also applies to Hang Gliding. There are by now thousands of Hang Glider Pilots who haVe never had a mishap yet. But there are also some who have become statistics, Records indicate that well over 90 percent of ‘ * Brazil replaces ...

To become a safe flyer, good instruction is of utmost importance. tom to get started in Hang Hiding? If you are seriously thinking of getting involved with this fascinating new spor get in touch with your nearest Gliding School or certified instructor. If you decide to enroll in a course y u will likely begin your esson with an evening lecture at which the instructor will give you a good idea of the basic aspects of Hang Gliding. You will see introductory movies that were taken on the training hill, showing numerous examples ‘of do's and don'ts, and you will also see sequences of in- termediate and advanced flying, By the time your fist groundschool lesson is over you will have a fair grasp of what you are letting yourself in for. The following sessions will be en the training hill, You will learn how to assemble a Glider and how to take care of it. Then you will get to know how to handle it and how to hold it in the proper flight attitude while running with it.
