Wills Wing Drogue Chute Available
The drogue chute is a device designed to increase drag and in so doing significantly reduce your glide ratio, which makes landing your hang glider easier in a number of ways. After experimenting with several types of drogue chutes, chute attachment methods and chute deployment methods, Wills Wing has settled on the Asymmetric Mount, Short Coupled, Harness Mounted Drogue Chute as the best design. The price for the kit is $97.50, including a container to mount on your harness and a manual. Click the headline link above to read more about the Wills Wing drogue Chute.
