Self portrait! I’ve been flying hang gliders since 1988 “self taught” pilot. And started Para gliding “self taught” in 2001. This year I am putting together a Trike and will be flying this spring, Can you say “Areal Camera Platform”? Cool ha! Well this photo was taken with my MINOLTA X-700 with a 16mm SIGMA fisheye lens. I used a Bogen Magic arm too mount my camera too the left down tube! 20lbs!! And no effect on balance or handling, the glider is a Wells Wing 180 Attack Duck with a nice keel. I tried this with my HP, and the moment I left the ground I had an extreme right turn. I was flying hanging more too my left to keep the glider flying somewhat straight! Landing was really exciting! But I pulled it off nicely. See Page9
