How to set up Wills Wing Alpha 180 Hang Glider

Thought I should share how a basic single surface hang glider is assembled. Since this glider is a rental and stored without breaking down the control frame it only covers sail assembly.
I made this video for audience who are new to the sport. For the experienced pilots, this might take you back to your good opd days. Hope you find it interesting😊

My last WW glider was the Ram Air. I became intimately familiar with the Raven, the Magic IV, and the WW Formula as well as the Ram Air. This looks like a lot of area 4 U. SUGGESTION: DO ALL YOU PREFLIGHTS CHECKS A MINIMUM OF TWO TIMES!!!

Nice work. Come to NZ and you can rig my Alpha 210 and fly her . They do have very different geometry and I have a hard time reaching up to do the nose wires and luff lines sometimes too . They als are terrible to rig and de-rig if it's windy, takes an even more technical approach to rigging so as to prevent her too be blown over .

Do you need pod harness for a low price? I have one that is unused and sized for a smaller person, ~ 5 foot 7, 150 lbs.

Thank you for offering. I have a Woody Valley Libero pod harness so I’m good😊

Nice 👏, How really time you spend to set up HG -?

Mmmm like 10min. If starting from putting together the control frame might take me 15-20min.

I think it’s 10 inch diameter. It’s not a solid tire. Don’t know what it’s called. But looks like this. www.hanggliding.org/w/images/a/a5/BigWheels.jpg
