That is the most amazing invention ever. I just wish they weren't so damn loud. I'm aware of the electric models but hey don't last long enough and the batteries are still heavy .
@railnwings Dang, I do know that the pilot that landed the little kit aircraft is Bruce, He is based out of Osceola WI, my home town. Hes also the one starting the mosquito at 2:13.
Both him and the guy Gary I know fly there hang gliders at a field in North Hudson WI.
Moter, no moter as long as I get up there, toget some airtime, these mosquitos engs. will save you a long drive u can launch from anywere and thats what i like about that.
@leodanqueretaro i agree with you. but if u dont have a good launch spot they would be a nice tool to have just to get u up there. im guessing u could turn it off and start it up in the air.
The video was made in North Branch, MN. After they reached altitude, they stopped the engines and grabbed thermals. They had cell phones with them, so they could stay in contact. Their plans were to go east tt Wisconson and drop in on a friend.
so much more fun than driving up shit roads in the mountains and carrying stuff. Where are you, what altitude are you ? I would like to see someone take off at 4500 feet in 85 degrees. Did the guy at cloudbase thermal with his engine off. Again, nice.
you kinda killed the peace and quiet of hang gliding with that loud ass engine lol

The wind was very low, but kept shifting. Nothing exceptional.
Glad you liked it.

What was the wind like that day? I believe the first pilot had the shortest run I have ever seen in a powered harness. Fun to watch, thanks.

Sure. Just go from the side of the hill like the rest of the free fliers and start the engine when you get low and go back up again. :)
