I am battling a real effort to censor this telescopic hang glider, it is real, I must say I have invested a great portion of my life and efforts and my father was at Lt. Colonel, If I am to stop these efforts you must kill me, I have taken this into consideration.

I flew for Bill Bennett. I tested the 6b, 8, and the Mariah. The Phoenix 8 is a dog. If you decide to fly it make sure the leading edge tube is one piece. That is, make sure it is not two tubes, that the aft tube is not slightly larger and extending a foot forward past the crossbar. A 10 to 1 lever that broke the wing and almost cost my life: Sylmar 1977. Trip Mellinger (Bennett’s VP} introduced parachutes for hang gliders later that year.

Telescopic hangglider is being erased from history, this is my last ditch effort.

Missing some parts; 1977 Bill Bennett hang glider; brother bought on a whim; no experience. Where to start to even know what we are missing?
