Foot launched powered hangliding

Powered Hangliding  - this is a powered harness that clips to a standard hanglider - classed by the CAA as an experimental aircraft
obviously I tell people I am a test pilot !!

I am not currently flying due to a knee problem ......

The flying machine ! - latest wing

Taking off ! - Here
My long suffering brother made an excellent video of a day out flying, Here is the youtube link
Shows a couple of takes off's that did not go to plan and one that did, this was when I was flying an Ace 160 which turns out to be not suitable at all
I upgraded to a Target 16 which is way easier to fly.



Rigging the powered unit

Ready for take off - original wing (Ace 160)
