- Typically the pilot is in a harness suspended from the airframe, and controls the aircraft by shifting body weight in opposition to a control frame.
- Early hang gliders had a low lift-to-drag ratio, so pilots were restricted to gliding down small hills.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hang gliding article was read about 64,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
