Thanks again for making such a great glider! ” Tandem ParaglidingTandem Paragliding Flights Offered Daily - from 175 to 255Come Fly TodayLearn To ParaglideNorth Americas Premiere Paragliding Flight. So much fun to fly! It’s been making training for new pilots so much easier too. I’ve had some amazing flights on it and have even gotten my best out and return to the West on it. How capable is the Alpha? Willy Dydo from Fly Away Hang Gliding in Santa Barbara shared this with us, “I sold my 144 so I’ve been racking up a ton of time on the Alpha lately. Thanks to its lightweight design and durable materials, the Horizon is easy to handle and can withstand high winds without any problems. It's made in the USA by one of the biggest names in the industry, and it’s also well-priced compared to many other comparable models at under 4,600.
As a basic rule of thumb you should plan on spending an absolute minimum. The North Wing Horizon is a great hang glider for beginners. The Alpha’s launching speed is not quite as slow as the Condor 330, but it is noticeably slower than a Falcon. If two instructors agree that the glider model isnt for you, listen to their advice.
In some ways the Alphas are easier for students than the Condor, because they are smaller gliders, and therefore easier to ground handle if there is wind. It took me three flights to manage to take off, fly straight and land on my feet (. The Alpha is a better first purchase glider for most new pilots than a Falcon, and almost as easy for first training flights as a Condor. Of course, not all beginners accomplish all of these tasks on the first try. Unlike the Condor, the Alpha is a fully airworthy, utility class glider, and can be flown in any reasonable flying conditions, and purchased by new students or experienced pilots. The Alphas fly very slowly and are very docile and easy in handling, take-off and landing, and yet they have an exceptionally good soaring performance – better in fact in very light lift and small thermals than a Falcon.
