Hang Gliding Pioneers
Curt's report
here and
here.
http://www.moyes.com.au/about-us.html
Australian engineer John Dickenson had read of a wing NASA had
developed to replace the steerable parachute for rocket re-entries and built the
first flying wing that we fly today, with Bill as test pilot at this stage
being towed by a motor boat.

The wing flew well with exquisite handling characteristics, it was
safe, and it was easy to fly. The Dickenson Pendulum Weight-Shift System
provides exquisite feedback so that flying quickly becomes instinctual. This
gives the pilot the opportunity to relax and enjoy the experience.
