Abstract
A hang glider control device may include a cross bar having a first end, a second end, a central region, a first central arm, and a second central arm. The first central arm and the second central arm may be coupled opposingly to the central region. The first end may be formed by a portion of the first central arm distal to the central region, and the second end may be formed by a portion of the second central arm distal to the central region. The first end of the cross bar may be configured to couple the cross bar to the first upright above the base tube, and the second end of the cross bar may be configured to couple the cross bar to the second upright above the base tube so that the crossbar may be generally parallel to the base tube.

A hang glider control device for use with a hang glider having a control frame which includes a first upright and a second upright, the device comprising:
- a. a cross bar having a first end and a second end;
- b. a first handle bar coupled to the first end of the cross bar, the first handle bar extending generally perpendicular to the cross bar;
- c. a second handle bar coupled to the second end of the cross bar, wherein the second handle bar extends generally perpendicular to the cross bar in the same direction as the first handle bar, and wherein the first handle bar and second handle bar are generally parallel to each other;
- d. a first upright fastener for coupling the first handle bar to the first upright;
- and
- e. a second upright fastener for coupling the second handle bar to the second upright.
A hang glider control device for use with a hang glider, the device comprising:
- a. a control frame, the control frame comprising a first upright, second upright, and base tube coupled in a triangular orientation, and the triangular control frame comprising a hang glider control device;
- b. a cross bar having a first end and a second end;
- c. a first handle bar coupled to the first end of the cross bar, the first handle bar extending generally perpendicular to the cross bar;
- d. a second handle bar coupled to the second end of the cross bar, wherein the second handle bar extends generally perpendicular to the cross bar in the same direction as the first handle bar, and wherein the first handle bar and second handle bar are generally parallel to each other;
- e. a first upright fastener coupling the first handle bar to the first upright;
- and
- f. a second upright fastener coupling the second handle bar to the second upright.
