The Target is like love, it is suitable for any age!
Friendly, easy to fly and easy to land
|
Ideal for beginners
If you are a beginning pilot, you might be facing the task of choosing which hang glider to start your flying carreer with. Choosing a Target would be a great choice and is ideal for pilots taking those first steps . Targets are durable and typically show little wear from most beginner mishaps . The same control input you learn when flying the Target on the training hill, when learning to ridge soar and and when flying in thermals are exactly the same techniques you will later use to fly more advanced wings. However learning those skills will be much easier and faster to master with a Target. Also one of the most critical moments of a flight, when you land, is when the Target rises above the rest, because it makes it so easy to achieve successfully at lower less threatening speeds. The Target is the right choice for beginning pilots. |

The Target is a great wing for all skill levels
The Target is additionally a very pleasurable glider for intermediate and advanced pilots. It is very responsive and ideal for working light lift when ridge soaring. And because a Target can fly tighter turns with less speed it can stay in thermals when higher performance wings might not. It is also lighter than more advance wings which makes set-up and ground handling that much more friendly. And again for many who have lost their chops it is simply a much easier glider to land. |
Instructor's choice
The Target is trouble-free, easy & inexpensive to repair, and constructed durable enough that it withstands much of the punishment that lesser built gliders would need repairs for. |

Thinking of becoming Bi-Wingual!
If you are a paraglider pilot and have been frustrateded one too many times with having to fold-up your wing because the wind has picked up then this is a great hang glider wing to transition to. It has the maneuvrability of a paraglider but like other hang glider the ability to penetrate and not collaspe in higher winds. It is also very easy and fast to assemble(taking not more than 10 minutes to put together). |
Thinking about flying to exotic places.
The Target can be broken down into a 6ft package that is easy to place into a baggage hold of any plane, bus, train, or cabin. And once at your destination and up at launch it doesn't take more than 1/2 hour to set-up and be ready for its own airborn departure. |
