Learning to Fly in Sydney & Wollongong

Here are recent photos from some of our flying sites that we use for professional hang gliding instruction:

Stanwell Tops, is great for the instructional tandem flights. -learning how to set up the landing approach, and where to find the lift on certain days. Stanwell Tops takes a south to an east wind. Speeds from 2 knots to 25 knots are commonly flown.

Beautiful white sands of Little Austinmer Beach, NSW

Above: Dave, from Canberra, on one of his first bunny hops from Bells Point, Austinmer. He's in the Airborne Fun 190. We've recently bought two of the new Moyes Malibu 188 gliders (not pictured). We're happy with these as well. Bells Point, Austinmer takes a light E-NE wind as is great for students first low solo flights.

Wide open, green and grassy, Bulli Park, NSW

Bulli Park is wonderful for learning the core techniques of launching a glider or fine tuning (refresher courses) the skills

Wills Wing Hang Glider Australia

Above: Jack from Canberra, in the Wills Wing Condor 225. This is our specialized wing imported from California. What makes it so special is it's massive size and its light-weight. This gives us a great training option on the no wind days. It's small control frame and light-weight helps out for the smaller folks.

Five Isands, Port Kembla, Hill 60, with hang gliders in the foreground

Hill 60 has a range of sites for the learning student (under supervision) to the advanced pilot wanting to "dune goon".

Hill 60 likes winds anywhere from E-NE to N-NE, 5-20 knots.
