== For nerds ... and hang glider pilots who want to survive this sport == | |||
This section will take a closer look at the special flight dynamics of hang gliders due to their weight-shift control and flexibility. | |||
All the points described here can be tested and verified using the FlightGear hang glider ''Laminar 13 MRX''. This should improve the understanding and might help to avoid extrem flight situations or to train safe recoveries from such situations. | |||
'''This section is still under construction.''' The current status is March 25, 2025. | |||
As an introduction, reference is made to two threads in the German Hang Gliding Forum, in which the static and dynamic longitudinal stability of weight-shift controlled hang gliders is examined in more detail: | |||

The aim is to present here the most important topics to a broader and international audience, or in short: to translate them into English. | |||
