![]() ![]() Info placard & Test Flight sticker: Keel, just aft of nose plate Number of battens, each side: 8 (grand total 17 includes nose batten) May be different desformation at speed? Tubes,dacron? mine was compared to another one that does not have this glitch and couldn´t find any difference in shape, angle or meassurements. It seems that a batch of Dreams 220 only, had this instability problem at low A.O.A.If I remeber wright some were made with less angle on the washout tubes, by mistake? It seems that at low A.O.A luff lines and washout make the combined reflex effect and the change in the washout tubes produced this tendency to tuck at low A.O.A. My sail is kind of old and needs to be replaced thanks I really need help on this and thanks for your time ![]() Īnd was woundering if you sold them or knew a place and the price. Hello there my name is nelson and i been looking for a place where i can buy a new sail for my 220 dream hang glider wing. I need to get a new sail for my dream 220, can anyone help me find a maker? The glider trims at about 16-17MPH with the bar way down the speed was in the low 30s but the bar returned without any hesitation.įrom now on i will keep the above comment at the back of my mind and remember to apply a little forward pressure in the event that the bar sticks. My last 2 flights I do attempt a couple of speed runs. This is a slow easy to fly glider that I have found perfect to learn on.Īs of yet I have not noticed the problem described above. Very easy to launch and land extreamly easy to control. I have a late 80s Dream 205 that I have been learning to fly with.įrom the small hill to now my 9th mountain flight I have had nothing but good experiences with this glider. Still fly her far and appart, but I never pull the bar in in excess like in a dive or so, no much use anyway since shes a slow draggy bag. My instructor asked personally Late Bill Bennett years ago, but he could not figure it out on the spot. I think an accident that killed two might have been caused by this.Seems that the heavier the pilot the faster you get to this occurence. Very strange like if the reflex lost all its use when the A.O.A starts to get negative. Only a short and healthy push restores the bars preassure.I noticed this on two occations and if not corrected fast seems a tumble could occur. I have a 1986 220 one with no more than 20 hours total air time.įound a strange behavior in flight, if the bar is pulled in a lot to speed, at first you feel great preassure but then, all of a sudden, the preassure vanishes and the bar wants to continue by itself!! The company manufactured The Dream line of gliders as hang gliders and trike wings in San Diego California from 1991 to 1997 Have the tendency to drop the nose after landing flare.ĭelta king kites and Gliders was bought by myself in 1991 and renamed Air Sports International. Very maneuverable, easy to launch, land and set up. ![]() The aviation environment here is ideal for both manufacture and training.The 220 was the de facto standard tandem glider for many years, a superb single surface glider. Our factory is located in Bangalore, the hub of all aviation activity in India, here we build the air-frames, under-carriage and the wings. The materials we use are consistent with worldwide standards for the manufacture of aero sports equipment and accessories Some are available here in India and some specific materials like fabric for the wing and engines are imported. Our products are constructed from the best materials. We have created the vital infrastructure for the aviation manufacturing business using the latest technology that is available including Laser, water jet and CNC machines etc. We have designed and constructed many powered hang gliders and free flight hang gliders during this time using indigenous materials. We have regularly conducted hang gliding courses in the Nilgiris since the early 1990`s. Javad Hassan, he has been involved with designing and flying hang gliders and powered hang gliders since 1986.
