Weight-shift control

Source 📝

20: 50:. Control is usually by the pilot using their weight against a triangular control bar that is rigidly attached to the wing structure. The wing is mounted on a pivot above the trike carriage or hang glider harness allowing the weight-shift forces to produce changes in pitch and bank. 106: 70: 66: 35: 111: 101: 8: 86: 43: 47: 24: 19: 95: 39: 27:
