Offer it to a Registered BHPA school,if it’s advertised anywhere else it can lead to self training and all the dangers that brings.have you flown or ground handled it?
correct only sell it in paragliding mag .as said you probably sell it to someone with no training and them ending up killing themselves I have a magic 4 hang glider I don't use its in fair nick but will just scrap it as I don't want any death on my hands remember a few turning up on the hill with obsolete rags and we chased themOffer it to a Registered BHPA school,if it’s advertised anywhere else it can lead to self training and all the dangers that brings.have you flown or ground handled it?
hangliders are safe enough even on crashing paragliders . are dodgy as they can fold up mid air and when u crash you land on your feet and brake your back or your legsI must say the thought of fluttering around underneath a giant bin back scares the life out of me! Give me a big radial and some sheet aluminium any day

So who landed it then.I remember watching a programme about Concord when one of the test pilots did a skydive , his only regret was not doing it years before. I was also in a Hercules in Belgium when the pilot walked through the plane and out of the tailgate.
3m kites are my favorite size. Wicked fast and very controllable. If your brave can fly em in a galeAfter working on light aircraft, and been around a few of the (Deluded) idiots that fly them. I would rather be up there using what is an open parachute, than strap myself in a machine built by Fred in his potting shed.
@stuvy . What size is that wing. I’ve a 3m traction kite, great fun as you say, did have the intention of learning to paramotor. Might still

Though there's something very relaxing ghosting down a beach under an 11m kite with barely a breeze at a fair lick
I went down to 15m lines. Depowers the kite slightly but massively increases the responsiveness of the kite and suits buggy use better.When I first got it I was flying in gales. I kept breaking 100lb lines. So went up to 150lbs. Ruined the wing, too much drag, slowed everything up. Hilarious been dragged along the floor, so not when you see a big pile of dogs eggs though

Just before 1 minuite the kite luff's. Check out the burst of acceleration when I save itWhen I first got it I was flying in gales. I kept breaking 100lb lines. So went up to 150lbs.
