Nano TO

Nanolight flight today. Recently put this little guy together with a friend. Entire craft weighs about 90LBS. Has tiny 13-18HP Solo 210 ultralight aircraft engine. Manages 450 ft/min climb at full power. Power off sink rates measured about 150-250-275ish ft/min down 350 in some spots. Glide Ratio quite nice at about 10:1 in very thick still 15F air. Measured in glide down from 2000 feet. Speeds 20-65 ish using old reinforced 1991 Performance hang glider wing (UP TRX). Flew Parallelogram from MP13 CHSR to RC Strip on Tanana to BSR in North Pole to Nordale and back. Got a cold weather injury on one finger. Hurts. Rewarmed with dog belly. Really hurt.
