What is the empty weight of the aircraft?

Nice struts. I like a good foot-launch glider or airchair and it would be a hoot to fly one, but storing and transporting is a bummer.

Hmmm... This AC concept is hard to understand(from reading definition at Wikipedia along with Pitching moment and such)
well to make it real why not make plans and build a model with rc equipment?

whats the point of forward mounting the wings?

GreenAce92,
the main reason is a center of gravity (C.G.) in relation to aerodynamic center location.

I know the LightHawk ultralight sailplane. I arefully observe all what is going on the field of ultralight gliders. My Supra isnt in the same caregorry as LightHawk. Supra is a Footlaunchable sailplane, with varible wing geometry. And it is much smaller that LightHawk. Allso Supra has higher wing loading.
Off course, some of manufacturing and design approaches to LightHawk, can be easily adopted in the supra as LightHawk has amazingly low weight!

A beautiful aircraft-does it really exist?How about some real video.Right now it looks like a "concept"aircraft.Very pretty but will it ever happen?

This ultralight footlaunchable sailplane was a result of my "brainstoming" about a fresh concept.
We talk about such kind of sailplanes in my yahoougrup "Footlaunchablesailplane".
This short video is only presentation of my idea and it is modelled in 3D. It is not a real plane but just "virtual" one.
I made video just to demonstrate my idea more clearly.
