  • hey i have a hangglider can i ust buy the motor package and use it on any hang glider?

  • Yes, most gliders are suitable, low performance or intermediate gliders have better handling with power. Pete

  • you are a skilled pilot. very very nice,

    how do you turn this wing so easily close to the grand? i just got in to power hang gliding and i have problems turning under power. is that ur wing or there is a way to do that?

  • Thanks! This wing is an Aeros Target 16m, it's very easy to turn with power, especially at speed. Lower performance wings are generally easier to handle with power. I lead slightly with my shoulders but still do a roughly parallel weight-shift when turning. Google 'wind-drifter' and look at the technical info page for detailed scientific analysis of the forces in powered flight. Pete

  • This video is an Aeros Target SkyFloater, my other wing is a Wills Wing Eagle, faster airspeed but only about 2 mins longer to rig. The Eagle is brilliant with power, light to carry and quick to rig. Pete

  • About 8 minutes to rig the wing, then another 10 mins to rig the power unit, bleed the fuel line and attach it to the wing. Pete

  • @billj3cub 330cc big bore kit with full port and polish, carbon fiber reeds and cage, piped carbed and very angry. It's current gears it only does 98mph but it will get there VERY quickly. One side note still using a thumb throttle not twist but I get your drift. I love my trike and haven't been beat by anything that isn't running a streat bike engine in their atv yet.

  • @JcXtreme72

    Let me guess; '85 or '86 250R?

    The single common comment from those who rode them was that you forget how blazingly fast they are every time you get on and twist the go-fast handle.

  • First thing great flying, I love where the camera is mounted.  Second thing race my trike it will probably be the other way around.

  • Love it! Keep flying.

  • planes win.

    simple as that.
