Nanolight flight today. Recently put this little guy together with a friend. Entire cra...h using old reinforced 1991 Performance hang glider wing (UP TRX). Flew Parallelogram from MP13 CHSR to RC Strip on Tanana to BSR in North Po...
PVC prop guards and wing support prepping for trailering. PVC works in this case as the wing will be supported from the ceiling of the trailer. See other photo!
This wing has not flown except for the test by the craftsman Mark Gibson. So far everyone that has seen this wing today agrees, this thing is heavy duty through and through. The stitching is immaculate and straight. All the batons came out of the box spot on using the chart.
It wasn’t too bad initially. We headed towards Jicarilla Airport and the north/south valley that ends near Albuquerque starts there. I had the corset all the way in and was doing 65-70 mph ground speed.
Steel wing carrier padded and attached to wing. Note forward straps (red) that hold the vertical position. Excess strapping tied off on prop - not used for support!
