Question:

I have determined that a teddy bear on the kingpost of my hanglider does effect the flight characteristics?

But if I stuff it inside the dual surface leading edge, it works. Do you think the teddy would mind a ride in that location? Right next to the flight manual in case I have to bail out?

  1. as long as you would make it work for him in terms of view. i don't think he will have a problem. will he have a view there?


  2. will he have his own little bear parachute? at least get him a little umbrella from one of those frothy drinks. or a good flared skirt, maybe a kilt. if he hugs the flight manual could he glide down on his own? dual surface leading EDGE sounds a beary scary to me.

  3. Don't you go stuffing my bear anywhere!

  4. Don't you think your a little too old for a teddy bear ?

  5. Get him good and drunk on bitter English ale, he wont mind wherever you put him then.

  6. No it probably wont effect  the characteristics but it could cause some drag  on the aerodynamics

  7. Teddy will love it! Is he a good luck charm?

    A while ago you said girls are supposed to "dig" hangliders and it wasn't working for ya... Well, I'm married and pushing 40 but any guy who carries a teddy is A-OK in my book! Very sweet! :-)

  8. Teddy it tougher than he looks so I think he will be OK. He will survive any crashes before you do.

  9. You are wrong.  It doesn't affect the flight characteristics.  

    You wear a parachute when flying your hangglider?!

  10. You've got a flight manual?

  11. bear ly think it matters,

  12. Time to grow up, son.  I mean you are 78 years old now.
