Thank you so very much l really do appreciate you filming everything for us so excited for you and 😢tears of join in my eyes

[@alanaldpal950]

As a bit of extra protection….. I run the middle tie down strap through the glider bag handles. In an extreme braking situation it may prevent the glider from “launching” forward. Congratulations on your new to you glider.

[@nanoraflyz]

Ya I def was thinking to do that and ended up talking to myself “oh it’s a short ride it’s fine!” But ya adding extra security for pretty much no effort, I’ll need to do that in the future! Thank you☺️

[@randydolata]

I follow them (Masayo and Takeo) as well - enjoy their content! Congratulations!

[@nanoraflyz]

They are the coolest the cutest couple I know!

[@Slingdango]

Right on! Thanks for sharing that 🤙🏼 I’m finally about to start hang gliding and it’s deffo helpful to see the beginner content. Thanks 👍

[@nanoraflyz]

Yay✌️just fyi, mine’s beginner + low budget content😅 if you have $ you can spend you wouldn’t struggle as much as I do and you can have a nicer roof rack. I do enjoy the learning process of things tho. Good luck!

[@VTSifuSteve]

@@nanoraflyz I love the ladder rack concept. So minimal and functional.

[@nanoraflyz]

@@VTSifuSteve I know it really is! Super secure and provides all the support the glider needs!

[@b7gwap]

YES congratulations! I love your using the sunroof to keep an eye on it while under way. Can’t wait to watch you fly it.

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you! Haha, I was too anxious. I’ll probably always drive like that when he’s traveling with me.

[@b7gwap]

@@nanoraflyzI really like the sail colors, too. I’m sure you’ll keep us posted, looking forward to it. Also, what ladder are you using on your rack?

Thank you so so much. It wasn’t easy, very challenging year.. without the HG community I couldn’t make this happen! Welcome to the magical world of hang gliding. Don’t give up, keep going at your own pace😊

I’m hoping so. Thank you so much sir!

Wow!!! Congratulations!! You have a rack and a glider! Awesome!!!! Very happy for you! Sky Out!!!!

Thank you😃

[@douglas.turner]

Wow, and congratulations! I am looking forward to your 100th flight with him, and all the ones in between. Imagine how expert you will be at loading and unloading the roof rack by then. You have such a thoughtful approach to your adventures, thank-you for letting us share in it.

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank youuu☺️ it’s been a tough year. I was feeling so defeated, stuck and lost so when I was given the opportunity to buy this glider, I felt the instant hope. I’m so so grateful to receive this glider. I’m looking forward to many days of training with him! Thank you for your support as always😊

[@flyingtime5501]

Awesome...Congratulations Nano. You wil never forget your first aircraft. Keep up the passion! ( Not that it ever goes away once ya have it.😜.)

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you so much! As I always remember my first truck tow, first mountain flight, this will stay with me.

[@Highrockman]

Congratulations..It's a memory that will last you a life time and I know Steve is smiling!

Thank you. Yes, I think Steve would be feel for me☺️

Congratulations.

[@azharc123]

Great to hear from you again!

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you!! It’s been a tough year. Felt stuck. Really grateful I got this glider. I feel like I can “restart” from here.

[@bobhunt5997]

hey Nano Ra I used same setup on a honda civic 30 years ago only wth my HPAT full length I would spread the roof racks as far apart as possible for more support recently while van in shop am using same set up on Honda fit wth Moyes Litesport 3 was grt wth no flex also can stuff foam in ladder rung hole ends to make the journey much quieter cheers

[@nanoraflyz]

I’m afraid to separate the cross bars because it’s supposed to be mounted on my car precisely by rhino racks’ instruction so the racks align perfectly parallel. I think I’ll be ok by adding straps to both end of the ladder and attach them to my car. Yes, I’ve heard about using foam. So far it hasn’t made any sound, very quiet so I’ll leave it as is. Modification I’m mainly thinking to do is to add a few holes to my ladder for my S hooks. I also need to add some kind of padding along the edges of the ladder. It’s pretty sharp. If I left it my straps won’t last long. Thank you so much for your comment and input!😊

[@claudia1love]

Congratulations on your new well used Glider "Blue". I was lately thinking about my own. Still have not finish my H1 and maybe repeat a couple of classes. a bit disappointed but everyone learns at a different pace right. Realistically i want safety above all so i don't mind. Your vlog motivates me, so please please don't stop. if you have to show a fix to "blue" say the replacing a cable or that safety pin on the Keel. So interesting. my instructor, told me that its like five grand for a new Falcon and same weight 145 for me. Thanks you, congrats again and "hang in there" Did blue owners send you the harness ?

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you so much🙏 it took me almost three years to get myself a glider. I know what you mean and your frustrations. This sport, for sure, it’s a process, parience requiring one. Newer you are to the sport, it has to go slow considering very calm conditions are needed for the training to happen. Depending on how far you live from your school/instructor also can be the slowing down factor… with my instructor passing, for me and others pilots at Blue Sky FP have no choice but to adjust things so we can continue to fly. For me, I’ll need to travel 3-5hrs(depending on the training location) to get hill training done with Blue. It’s huge change for me but if I give up, there is no more flying. Even if it takes time I want to pursue flying. I know there might be days when you feel defeated and unsure how this will go, I really hope that you won’t give up. Great things take time, effort, ton of energy. Please don’t compare your pace with others. Everyone has different situation, life, you can only go at your own pace and that’s perfectly fine. Thank you so much for telling me to continue the channel. I plan on doing that😊 Oh and harness, I have a Woody Valley’s Libero harness😎 Keep going!!!!

[@claudia1love]

@@nanoraflyz sorry for the late reply, I finish my H1 six classes and my instructor and i, decided to repeat it, If during the course he believe i could move forward it would be credited to H2 program. But life happens, this weekend is rain, next week is my older daughter birthday and the following is my dad visit. Hopefully i can get September and October to fully complete H1. my motivation is KZbin pilots who like you, on a journey. The moment i look up while off the ground and have the confident and experience both to take off and land safety i would look into a glider myself. Keep on flying.

[@nanoraflyz]

@@claudia1loveyou have a plan, realistic goal with the time line and that’s really good. Yes, life happens, all the time… we just have to remember, this, hang gliding, is not to be our pressure or stress. No one is forcing, rushing us. We’ll keep working toward our goals, that’s all! You, me, we’ve got this!!!!!

[@claudia1love]

@@nanoraflyz Thank you.

[@HangGlidingFlightSchool]

Great job! Congratulations. May Blue bring you many years of joyful flying. I have a video on my channel about my glider rack, if you want to get some ideas.

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you so much! I’ll check out your video😁

[@b7gwap]

Nano, I got my first hang glider today, too! Just wanted to share. Have you flown yours yet? Cheers!

[@nanoraflyz]

Congrats!!! Nah, I have to take him to an instructor to get it reassembled, inspected and test flown. When that’s all done I’ll finally be back at training!!

[@b7gwap]

My initial impressions on Falcon vs Alpha: the sail is much ‘tighter’-feeling. The glide is so much longer, a little speed goes a much longer way. Less roll response when she gets slow. Heavier. But the feeling of owning your own glider? Amazing. Can’t wait to see your first flight!
