The Russian Condor
Alexey Goldin <alexey.goldin> writes to Steve Pearson at Wills Wing:
Steve, great thanks for helping my friends in Russia with Condor plans some time ago. I intended to translate some pages for you but never got around. Google translation is pretty funny, you might enjoy it :-)
On the other hand pictures and video probably do not need to be translated.

Apparently they taught first batch of students using Condor and results are very good They learn much faster and many fewer people drop out.
Steven Pearson <<Steve>> responds:
Thanks for the update. It's great to see more young faces introduced to hang gliding. Actually, the Google translation was pretty good this time. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like you might benefit from a little looser crossbar tension (and correspondingly more dihedral) if pilots are having any problems with control authority or directional stability.
