[MOC]Hang Glider

[legosamigos]

Hello Eurobrickers!

Today I would like to show you a hang glider. Hang glider - an unpowered flying apparatus for a single person, consisting of a frame with a fabric airfoil stretched over it. The operator is suspended from a harness below and controls flight by body movement.

I do not modeled on any particular design, that's my loose concept.

Features:

- piston engine coupled with a propeller,

- a moving flap wings and frame to move just this wing,

- steering front wheel by feet

 

wingspan - 47 studs,

length - 28 studs ,

height - 14 studs

      weight - 289 grams

Nice model,  but isn't it called a microlight plane?

In dictionary I found as a hand glider. LINK

it's an ultralight - essentially a fabric hang glider wing with a small engine. The name comes from a registration category for very light weight aircraft.

I used to make these for airborne:
