Hey Gary,
now that's the way to extend your flight time.....and be comfortable! Five hours was my limit in my old Sensor 510 with a Bennet pod (I am dating myself here... ![]() This was back in the days of B.C. (Before Camelbacks) Blue skies!

![]() Hi Ray, yeah, the 510-A model was really fun to fly.......my first one was an old bagged out 165 I bought from a friend. It was really easy to turn cuz the sail was so loose! But you still had to flare it right. I bought the last 510-A 160 that Seedwings made, they tried to talk me into a "B" model but I wasn't so sure about a hang glider without a keel pocket... ![]() worlds: bag and blade wing all in one! Those glass tips are common now.....we used to seen as non-conformists! Now enjoying the Apis! Cheers, |
