Thanks for dropping by our new blog site. Our goals are to develop this site and the main Microlight Wings web site into the ultimate microlight/ultralight emporium of online news, reviews, interviews and most importantly purposefully developed training material and software for the venturesome microlight enthusiast.
Don't forget to visit the main site as well at

Sounds good Steve, that was a fun day. This year we have both new pilots and new toys. One pilot has a new Sailplane, one a powered paraglider, there is even a powered harness for a hang glider. Plus a new winch we use on both Paragliders and Hang gliders. It will get you 400′ in the air with no tug. Very Cool! And of course Bogdan is always ready in his 80 hp tug.
I hope you can make it out again this Summer,
take care Steve,

No, this is many years ago, long before the digital age. I no longer have those videos. The best thing to do is to mount your camera on your helmet with a bolt through the inside. All cameras have a bolt hole for mounting. Second best is to just mount it on the frame of the trike, close to the ground for that ground rush feeling, facing forward. You can also make it swivel with R/C by using a servo.
Yes, but the point of mounting a camera on a stick is for the purpose of filming the pilot. Filming straight ahead requires no stick. I used to take great video with a helmet cam.
I thought of doing this too, but realized that people do not want to see you, they want to see what you see. They want to see ahead. My camera is mounted in front and videos only open space.

Great Job. Fellow pilots like to see the control inputs of other pilots. Nice!
