Aerobatic fun in a Bailey-Moyes Dragonfly

Something"UNREAL" about that. Attitudes and control positions didn't seem to coordinate with what was going on..  Nev

It's not all fun, though.  I see that apart from hang-glider towing, the Dragonfly has been put to work crop-spraying.

(Not that that wouldn't be fun, too. ; -)

I'm hopefully going to learn to fly one of these soon to do some hangglider towing. Can't wait, looks like an incredibly fun little aircraft.

A friend of mine lived next door to a Hughes 500 chopper pilot of some repute, and reported that he would take  lady friends up and do daring things for a bit, then land and they would go indoors for a long time............)

A debriefing no doubt.   Nev

Indeed. Lent a whole new meaning to 'scaring the pants of 'em'..........)

You gotta use that adrenalin somehow. . Nev

You may have seen this one already; Bobby Bailey putting his design through its paces in Nepal.

 

From the YT description:

 

"The Dragonfly Rancher is “The Most Versatile Light Aircraft in the World.” And quite likely, be the most fun you will ever have.

The Bailey Moyes Dragonfly was first introduced in 1989 by the “Godfather” of Hang Gliding, Bill Moyes.

And, quickly gained the reputation as the best aircraft for towing Hang Gliders aloft worldwide.

With little surprise, as aero towing was what Booby Bailey designed it for."
