Flying at its most basic, a flex-wing microlight towing a hang-glider. The hang-glider pilot lies on a 'trolley' which is released when sufficient lift is generated for him to be able to rise off it. The hang-glider is a Ukrainian made Aeros Combat Light. On an unspectacular day for flying the pilot landed about 35 miles (56 Km) away from a 2000 feet launch.
