legosamigos Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) 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 Brickshelf gallery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4dKfqXxDKU Edited January 14, 2017 by legosamigos Quote
Siegfried Meyer Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Nice model, but isn't it called a microlight plane? Quote

bonox Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 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: http://www.airborne.com.au/pages/microlights.php Quote
