How much does a hang glider cost? New hang gliders start around $3,000. Used hang gliders in good condition sell for $1,000 to $2,000+ depending on  age, design, and condition.  Most students between Hang 1 and Hang 2 purchase a glider, harness, helmet, and training wheels.  Silver Wings, Inc. is a dealer for most major hang gliding manufacturers and stocks new and used equipment.  We assist our students in choosing the right equipment considering each student's experience, goals, and finances.
