| I started from a field between Llanrug and Bethel, I fly North after takeoff, then soon turn East and over my house at Cae Metta. Glad you liked the video. I was in the Glyntwrog on saturday 12th July getting slowly drunk on IPA ? and Hobgoblin! Pete |

| Is it easy ? to fly that powered glider? Is the "engine" worth of it? How much the glider with the wasp thing cost? So awesome hobby. :P Awesome video. -Parrakuda |
| It is slightly ... ( 3 ans par flyingleek) |
| It is slightly harder to fly than a standard hang glider, the handling is degraded withthe addition of thrust and weight. I don't know what 'worth of it' means? A new power unit is about £3000 (British Pounds), used units can be bought from £500 upwards. Pete? |
| Thank you for the ... ( 3 ans par Parrakuda) |
| Thank you for the information!
£500 Shouldn't be so expensive for a powered hang glider. I mean with the "worth of it" that is it like better than normal hang glider, that should I pay the few thousand pounds more for the wasp engine. I hope that you caught what I mean.. So, is the wasp engine worth of it in the glider? If I'd buy one, I'd buy used one, because I'm not the richest person. I have been? thinking to start this hobby in 2 years. Looks like awesome to fly. :) Thanks! Parrakuda |

| Most ? people recommend learning to fly a hangglider first, then adding power, that is the way I learnt. You can learn to fly by launching from a hill or being towed up by a winch. Pete |
| Yeah, well in my ... ( 3 ans par Parrakuda) |
| Yeah, well in my country there is must to learn to fly with the normal hang glider and then with the powered hang glider. Here you can't learn to fly by yourself (like from the hill), you need a teacher to teach you. So, if I want to have permission to fly in the air, I need to go to "a gliding school", it costs like 1000 ?. Here aren't so high hills, so we are using the winch? or a vehicle to getting the glider in the air.. Yeah, I must to learn to fly first. :P ~Parrakuda~ |
| Thanx for uploading ... ( 3 ans par KrisWales3) |
| Thanx for uploading such a great video... I live near laanberis, havent flown over ? my own countryside ofr years, loved the soundtrack too. I need to learn an affordable form of flying like this. I was an air cadet for 7 years, i have flown gliders, and powered aircraft, but Id love to paraglide or hang glide. |

I´m hang glider pilot since long time(? 18 years), have a good hang glider for this purposes (aeros discous). So I ´m very intereted in how did you make the construction with engine ? Thank you. |

| There is alot of military air traffic ? around this area, Llanberis Valley is a helicopter low flying area. I've just gotta trust in the - "See and be seen" and "Big sky principle" :-) |

| Hi Pete, Really enjoyed watching your video here mate, I quite often visit North Wales (Not by air though :) ) I was just wondering... As there are lots of RAF training flights over North Wales do the pilots have any way of seeing you? (radar etc) It's just that you seem awfuly vulnerable when your as high up as you are here? Regards John? from Southport. |
| Hello John, sorry ... ( 2 ans par flyingleek) |
| Hello John, sorry for the late reply. Snowdonia is an area of intense aerial activity. The Hawk aircraft don't have radar, hopefully they fly 'heads up' alot. LLanberis Valley isn't used by fast jets, it's a helicopter training area. If I hear a jet but can't see it, it ? can be disconcerting. Pete |

| 1 In the UK you can fly legally (but inadvisable) without any 'licence', most people learn to fly ? a hangglider from a hill or winch, then do a power conversion course when competent. 2 The homebuilt unit was adapted and improvised as I went along, the important bit is getting the balance right, that unit didn't handle well as there was too much weight at the rear. 3 At the time I worked as a n aircraft structural technician so had access to material suppliers (and eBay!).
