George Killey, in his prototype motorized hang glider. Feb 1981. Think he used a Tornado hang glider wing and, of course the Sachs engine

Viper trike , best dual seater i flew. Owned two of them. , combo of Italian and German engineering. The wing tips had steel inserts to reduce the drag. Only problem was the skins , not geared for our uv (made of mylar) so after a while the material would de- laminate.

My Aerostar , this baby had the smallest trike wing in the world 10 sq meters, the cockpit was so small , no place for throttle on nose gear, but a fantastic ride. Very stable wing and fast. The engine was a single ignition 42 hp Rotax. Before i owned her she was flown in the world champs by the Polish team ,if memory serves me correctly.

Another cropsprayer i owned , note the 503 (not 582). Reason was so we could use the top tank for fuel and the bottom tank for gif. The wing was the standard Aquilla .
