Woody Valley Cabrio - versatile training harness
I splurged a bit and got a new Woody Valley Cabrio harness for training...but as an established school, we should keep reinvesting. I was recently chatting with another instructor at a prominent US school and he was looking into creating their own training harness. I laid out my criteria for an ideal harness and then remembered Woody Valley had a training harness on their list but they never provided much info or pic of them. I bit the bullet and had them send me one with our last Libero order...in a nutshell, I don't think there is a need to...
More info on the new Woody Valley Libero
Thanks to Jim Gibson, I already have a Libero harness in my possession. I would LOVE to fly with it but I am sure Jim is keen on getting his hands on it. Jim ordered the harness two weeks after it was announced and it was in my hands 4 weeks after that! I snapped a bunch of pics today before I get it out to him. I LOVE WoodyValley - their harnesses are top-notch - they better be since all they do is make harnesses! They are dominant in the paragliding world for harnesses and have shared their craftsmanship,...
New WoodyValley harness - The lightest harness called LIBERO
Woody Valley is proud to present the new hang-gliding harness: LIBERO LIBERO is conceived to satisfy all pilots looking for an easy-to-use hang-gliding harness. It is suitable for absolute beginners, occasional pilots and even top pilots who wish to have fun flights without spending time adjusting their top-of-the-line competition harness.

It has no stiff back components, just four small pipes to spread the weight evenly on the pilot and a few 4 mm aramid Kevlar lines. The main hang strap slides along the support pipes, helping the pilot into the ideal position for landing stall....
Tandem Landing Gear in stock again!
Back by popular demand!!!We were poked and prodded to get some of our tandem landing gear made up so we did! Five sets are up for grabs and these are literally HALF the price of WW landing gear....and equal to or higher quality (if we do say so ourselves!!) A touch unique with our stronger and simpler downtube support. Always improving...the only things we changed on this batch was we did not put the holes in the sides fo the forks. It didn't save much weight and holes only INCREASE drag...so why would we do that! :)We also added some...
Updated AltAir product listing
I just updated our listing of AltAir instrument pods to make sure we had all their latest models listed in the options. They sure do have a extensive variety to house any instrument out there - including phones, tablets and eReaders! If you haven't flown XC with your phone handy, you are missing out...the ability to have a second screen to run any of the free apps out there for airspace, thermal assists and tracking your flying mates live is invaluable!
