# ultralights were compared and were flown on many remarkable long flights. Over time the Pterodactyl has become an aviation legend. The history of the Pterodactyl family of aircraft started off with the design of the Manta Fledge rigid wing hang glider. Designed by the famous designer of the Super Floater glider and later the Drifter ultralight, Klaus Hill, the Fledge hang glider was the high performance hang glider of its time, the mid 1970s. The design evolved through the Fledge I, II and finally the III, with several sub-models designated with letters after the roman numerals. The hang glider relied on its wing sweep for yaw stability and weight shift for pitch control. Unlike flex wing hang gliders, it used tip rudders for roll control, operated by control bar-mounted sliders. #
