Not really interested in the trike, nice as it is, but I fly a Target with a Mosquito powered harness,and wondered if it would need modifying to be used with a trike. Regards.
@nogginthe Most hang gliders get some modifications for trike applications. A keel sleeve at the hang junction is top of the list, heavier flying wires is a good idea, and often people will reverse the base tube if they are using a speed bar. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you don’t exceed the gross weight capacity the wing was designed for by adding the additional weight of the trike.
@nogginthe I’ll also say this, landing and taking of in a trike (with wheels) is a heck of a lot easier (and safer) then landing and taking off (on your feet) with a powered harness.
If anybody want to know more about this trike and wing, just Google the title and you'll find all the info you'll need, much more then I could (would) ever respond to here.
Some years ago, I saw two of these in Phoenix come in and land by an isolated convenience store. They went in and got what they wanted and came back out. Just as the second one taxied, the cops showed up to try to bust them. It was funny as the cops got there and they just flew away, leaving the cops in a cloud of dust. I was impressed in how little runway they needed. It was no more than 20 feet and, one right after the other, they were up and away.

Is the glider an ordinary glider or a special one? Or a modified one?

@TheMrBlinx why did the cops try to bust them, did they rob the place?

@MuckyWaters No, for landing in the city limits. Not supposed to. It was funny. Even the cops were grinning as they watched them just fly away.

@TheMrBlinx Bust them for what?

@NorcrossMedia Apparently there's some pesky law about landing aircraft within 50' of buildings, etc.
