FAA Flight Instructor Paul Hamilton offers powered hang gliding flights for the first time pilot as well as those with experience. Take an interactive flight lesson in an Apollo Trike. This FAA certified light-sport aircraft features a modern hang gliding wing, very much like a traditional hang glider, but powered by a reliable Rotax aircraft engine. We cater to thrill seekers and the not-so-thrilled alike. This is an exciting and memorable adventure for all.

Thrill seekers need to do this. It was over the top fun for our group. We were able to talk to each other over microphones as we soared above the mountains. One moment of panic in mid air on my behalf, but it added to the thrill. Such a beautiful way to experience the earth below!!

This activity was definitely the highlight of our Northern CA/NV trip in June 2016. Before the trip, my son asked me if he could do something exciting during the family vacation. I searched the web and found Powered Hang Gliding Tahoe. It is rare one could find such a special experience with a beautiful natural setting. My son and I...

hands down one of the coolest experiences I have had. Really fun! Amazing views. And Paul is such a good instructor, really adding tremendously to this experience by explaining everything and letting "you" to decide what to do during the flight. Overall excellent! Would recommend to everyone.

Dan and I each flew with Paul Hamilton..what a TREAT! Everyone should take this flight, especially with Sports Aviation and Paul. I felt so safe, even at 10,000 feet. What a wonderful experience.

I wanted to do something different and exciting while I was around Lake Tahoe for a weekend and boy did I find exactly what I was looking for! I was staying in Sparks (up by Reno) and finding/getting to the airport was really easy. I had the first flight of the day on a Saturday so it was really quiet...

Flew with Paul a few weeks ago on a family trip. As an airline pilot, I was really looking forward to this different way of flying. I was excited with a mix of nervousness as this was really unfamiliar territory for me. That all went away before we turned the aircraft on to be honest. They way Paul, explained everything...

Eduardo, It was great to fly with you...especially since you're already a pilot. Look forward to flying with you again when you're in the Lake Tahoe area again.

1 review First & foremost, Paul (the pilot & guide), was extremely professional, friendly and safe. He made sure to explain any procedural moves in the air to put my mind at ease. The flight and views were incredible, and actually piloting the craft, although scary at times, was very fun. Highly recommended!

My husband and adult son went to Hang Gliding Tahoe for my husband's 60th birthday. We called the day before as we were traveling in the winter and were not sure of the weather. It was cold that day, but they both stayed warm in the heated boots and gloves. My son enjoyed going high enough to see Lake Tahoe...
