Your answer!

How long can a glider stay up...?
As long as the pilot likes providing the weather conditions are acceptable. We stopped counting when a pilot stayed up for 24 hours. Flying a hang glider is not particularly strenuous. In the very early days of hang gliding, the challenge was just to see how long you could keep your glider up but now the challenges for modern pilots are much more sophisticated.
Goals might be cross-country flights or triangular cross-country flights.
