Brings back great training memories in Bedlinog with a school...... just wish i could find someone else that still flies a hangglider near me, they're almost extinct these days ! (Boohoo).
Nice Video. Very tempting to try a powered harness. Same questions as above - how easy is it to stop and restart engine while in flight? And, is the throttle really in your teeth?
The throttle is in your teeth- but only for takeoff as your hands are busy controlling the glider. After takeoff there is a hand throttle mounted on the harness. Mine has footstart which I find easier than pullstart when using it on the ground and inflight.
Thank you for posting I enjoyedd them. I would highly recomend that they turn off thier engines completely before landing to prevent damage or injury. Please post more videos. I will too.
Nice Vid. Do you know if there are electrically powered mosquitos yet? I am a hangglider and I am rather interested by these machines. Are they easy to restart during the flight?
Fairly easy to restart in flight, mine has a foot starter which is easier than a pull start in my opinion. Someone is developing an electric unit in Switzerland, I don't have any more info sorry. Pete
Awesome!
Is the engine worth of it?
