Foot - launched sailplanes have been around for a while , but this video of a guy rope fly one off a drop catch our eye . On a airy versant , you’re able to see him hovering in place against the wind before he goes over the side . This gives you an idea why the Wright brothers chose a wordy and steep sand dune to test their first gliders — they could be adrift without run forth , and if there was a mishap , the soft sand was forgiving . This quite a little would n’t be so soft , but this guy look like he know what he ’s doing . [ Funlol ]
