How a PG is made

Post by PTerry »

Nice movie about how a paraglider glider it is made

The music is a bit annoying, but enjoy anyway.

Thanks for the video, it was interesting.

Was that 90 manhours, or 90 hours for each of the 5 people that worked on the glider (450 man hours). I think it has to be the former, otherwise the glider would be a lot more expensive.

That was cool. I wonder how that compares to manufacturing a hang glider. Maybe Dan could answer that.
