One aim of the development of this glider is rather to have a very realstic ''generic'' hang glider model than an exact copy of the Laminar 13. This means that some features and properties of this model can deviate from the ''real'' glider. However, since performance and flight dynamics don't differ so much between different hang gliders, the flight behavior should be very close to the real thing.<br /> | One aim of the development of this glider is rather to have a very realstic ''generic'' hang glider model than an exact copy of the Laminar 13.

One more purpose of this model is to provide a tool that allows real hang glider pilots to exercise flight conditions that are way too dangerous to exercise in real life. | One more purpose of this model is to provide a tool that allows real hang glider pilots to exercise flight conditions that are way too dangerous to exercise in real life. | ||

A very beautiful site is the real life hang gliding launch "Seegrube" which is located near LOWI (--lon=11.379070 --lat=47.306263 --heading=155 --on-ground). Choose 15kt wind from 180deg for all altitudes and soar up to the summits. | A very beautiful site is the real life hang gliding launch "Seegrube" which is located near LOWI (--lon=11.379070 --lat=47.306263 --heading=155 --on-ground).
