Hello friends !

If the TPHG 5.7 looks like a RANGER hang glider from Bernd SCHMIDTLER, it's right !

The picture above shows the 2025 Hangglifter's Sail on the 1979 RANGER's Frame.

The original sail weights 5.75 kg and the prototype of the "New Version" weights 2.6 kg now.

MORE TO COME... :wave:

To be honest, if I'm thinking about the V2 for a long time, It is only recently that I launched the thing...

The last piece was thinked yesterday morning in fron of my coffee.

No blueprint is done yet.

I'll work on this weekend and we will see the schedgule of my machinist.

About Dockweiler, we will plan it carefully, I do want the ones present last year here again.

Hopefuly November, maybe December, we will see.

The Avatar is Finsterwalder SuperFex, the glider is Schmidler RANGER, same year, 1979 bothe of them.

I will try to be there again. I'll also send out notices to all the U.S. Hawks. Just let me know when the date is final.
