About: I'm a Hydrogeologist for a consulting firm here in Helena Montana. My 14 year old son, Sam, is the brains behind thia Project and has done a lot of the design work and all of the computer work. He is on the exhibit development team for Exploration Works, an interactive museum of science and culture being built here in Helena. He came up with this project as an exhibit idea. We have also been working on a full scale model that uses a real hang glider hanging from the ceiling. That project still has a ways to go but will be really neat.

QuadPod Hang-Gliding Simulator
