The old faithful Ez Riser was one of the first types of hang gliders, Remember the beginning of the movie Fly Away Home? This is that. originally with speed brakes on the wing tips the design evolved to contain rudders over time, This is my take on the Ez Riser, I plan to update this glider. Controls are weight shift: Main Control is VTOL but you can make minor tweaks with Trim, Turning is done by rudder with the help of weight shift, Very hard to land
