Now i will just take the opportunity to ask you some things, like what is the max. ceiling that the Mosquito NGR can reach, the fuel capacity, and how many time the tank takes to became empty in cruiser speed. Thanks
The highest I've had it is 6000 AGL. It took 15 -20 minutes to reach that altitude without pushing out. I think the ceilling is 7500 without modifications. The take hold 1.5 gallons that gives me about 1.5 - 2 hours of flying time.
@wmadams1 I'm sorry but what measure unit is that (ALG)? (I'm Portuguese so...)
Before i turn you in a sales man, i have to ask you if we can modify the tank to gain like 2 hours more, and if you recommend this hand glider to a someone whit a small budged, or if you have an other hand glider in mind... that doesn't break the axis whit 10 hours of use. Thanks again.
P.S: i have check some of your videos, and i have to tell that your flight skills are pretty good.
AGL stands for Above Ground Level. Just a measurement of altitude in feet. Yes, you could easily modify the tank to increase the amount of fuel you carry as long as your not over the recommended hook in weight for your glider. You could fly a tandem glider and that would allow you to carry more fuel. Wills Wing makes a good rugid glider that I use called the Falcon. They also make a good tandem glider that most schools use in the U.S. Thanks for watching my videos.
@wmadams1 Thanks a lot for all those informations. I have liked specially the Wills Wing products. I have to say that for now only need two things - classes, and some more money...
I live in San Antonio, Texas, but I've been flying North of Dallas on some of my family's land. I'm still H2, I've got the hours for H3, but I haven't taken the test. How long have you had your Mosquito?
They're pretty easy to fly. I start off with a nice slow jog and speed up to a run. I pull in on the bar to build up air speed and never push out. Once I'm in the air I try to gain altitude before I start my first slow turn. I do parallel weight shifts for roll control. When landing, I kill the engine and push the mouth throttle back in place on my shoulder. I try to land with alot of airspeed on approach.
is it possible to have the engine not on the harness, but on the actual glider part?

@lolziloveminecraft Their are a couple of examples of the motor attached to the glider, but I haven't tested them. You can look them up on youtube.

No, that's just the harness. You might be able to find one used for about 4-5.
