Das vielleicht erste Video eines Drachenfliegers im Flug, noch mit Barren-Steuerung: Ken de Russy: "As early as December 1961 Barry Palmer designed, built and flew what most hang glider pilots would regard as the first Rogallo wing hang glider. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sswv4WUi0aY Just a couple of years later he added a motor and foot launched into powered hang gliding flight, probably the first to do so. By 1967 Palmer designed, built and flew a forerunner to the modern trike." ... "A review of Rogallo's patents and work at NASA reveals there has never been any such thing as a Rogallo hang glider. Rogallo never created a hang glider nor was there anything created or patented by Rogallo that was used as the basis for a hang glider design. The configuration that is commonly referred to as a Rogallo Wing is the creation of John Dickenson of Australia. Nearly every hang glider described as a Rogallo Wing should be properly described as a Dickenson Wing."
