Fly For FREE! (Beautiful 'Hang Glider' Flying Video)
Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 04:11PM "Fly For FREE!" - sounds like a trick, or too good to be true... but it really is free flying. Sure, you have to buy the hang glider first and you need to be somewhere that the air is going up, like on a sweet mountain slope or on a sunny thermal-filled day, but if being off the ground without spending an arm and a leg is your goal, then hang gliders are pretty hard to beat. A $5,000 to $20,000 investment will get you into a brand new hang glider that can easily keep you in the air for hours on end when the conditions are right. And if all you have is flatland thermals to chase around, a small power pod for launching is a fairly simple accessory on many of the gliders.
Whether you'd ever seriously consider this very pure form of flying for real or not, watching youtuber jimsteele33 enjoy a beautiful fall day of flying with another hang glider definitely won't cost you anything... and it might just light a fire for one of the most natural ways man has ever found to fly like a bird. This is also one of the few aviation videos where the music actually makes it better. It's just good stuff.

I am looking for a partner to make flying for free to all.
I developed a business model that will allow the buyer to finance an aircraft, and expense's for an aircraft, and my business model will make all the payments.
