5.0 out of 5 stars Required book for the advancing hang glider pilot, October 6, 1998

By A Customer

I first flew a hang glider solo at Wallaby Ranch Florida in June 1998. With the information I read in this book I have logged over ten hours of solo air time in 23 flights. Several flights longer than an hour. One flight lasted two hours. I cannot recomend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book should be in every pilot's reference library, June 8, 1998

By	grant@smithsefair.com.co (Bogota, Colombia) - See all my reviews

Dennis Pagen has professionalized the presentation of HG instruction in many works, and deserves the gratitude of HG pilots world wide.

This book, and the clear presentation of important concepts of thermaling, cross country flying, and speed-to-fly theory make it a gem of gliding knowledge for weekend and competition pilots.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for advancing hang glider pilots., February 2, 1997

By A Customer

I have read Pegan's books since my first days on the training hill. The information in his writings have surly saved my life, at the very least Pegan's books have been my ground school. Preformance Flying is an up to date volume on all aspects of advanced hanggliding from judging conditions to equipment to towing to competition flying. Very nicly organised with quotes and antecdotes form todays top pilots. This is the best book for the intermediate and advanced pilot today
