Altair Predator
![]() The Predator evolved from UP USA’s TRX model in 1995.
The leading edge, spar and keel are all in carbon fibre. The Predator is a fast hang glider, but hard to soar in light conditions. Also fast on take-off, I has a hard time to start in no wind conditions.
They were building them in California again in 2012.
