No, nothing new from WW. The original question was about a collapsible hang glider that's suited for backpacking.
That's how the Finsterwalder-Charly's Perfex and Funfex came to the thread.

You're not the only one who ever thought of this. I'm gonna take a crack at designing a collapsible backpack hang glider. I've always wanted to carry a hand glider in a back pack. For people like me who don't have a car, if a backpack hang glider is workable, why, hello world!

Finsterwalder are making their last batch of hang gliders now. Their sailmaker is retiring, and last I've heard they haven't found a replacement. I don't know if they're still accepting new orders, but when they did, you could have ordered from them directly.
