Hello Florian,

They must have had a good time trying to inspect your glider!      :lol:

Did you find it repackaged properly?

I use another service. I just sent you a "Private/Personal Message" ("PM"). Please check it for details.

Thanks again for a great visit. I hope you're thinking about how to improve your Tiny Packed Hang Glider!!

Florian is thinking of putting a cross beam in the TPHG 4.6.
For a visit, he is going to visit USA again in January 2025 in Georgia.

Yes, I was confused by why the video became so viral so quickly.

I checked the analytics and apparently YouTube is promoting the video on the homepage of YouTube, which is why it has reached 13,000 views in 2 days.

I was going through some of the Dockweiler videos, and between Florian's videos and my own, I think we have a snapshot of all 7 pilots who flew his glider on that first day of flight. Here they are in order:
