At the moment, this type of recreation, such as hang gliding, is gradually gaining popularity in Russia. Now there are many shops selling this equipment, and instructors teaching how to operate such an aggregate. However, the cost of such pleasures is sometimes too high, so today we will consider the question "how to make a motor hang glider with your own hands."
Materials
All that you need to prepare in the first place is the casing, cable stretching and frame. Speaking of cables. When you assemble a motor hang glider with your own hands, do not save on these tools, since your health and even life depend on the quality and reliability of the design you assembled. Therefore, the cable must comply with all standards and requirements, have high strength and protection against sudden disengagement of the carbine. Of course, it should not be torn, so buy only the equipment for which there are all the necessary documents and certificates, and if possible make purchases in specialized stores, and not on the market.
As for the casing, this material should also be distinguished by increased strength. However, here by this concept is meant its resistance to aerodynamic load, which is exposed to the frame during flight. And the best thing is to buy a special sailing fabric: it certainly will not tear at the most unexpected moment. The metal structure must be lightweight and at the same time strong. Too heavier the trike (made with your own hands) should not be, as this will only aggravate its handling and maneuverability in general.
Connectors
At this point, it is also necessary to focus attention. When designing a design, correctly calculate the number of places for connectors. The strength and weight of the entire unit will depend on how correctly you think over their location.
What else needs to be paid attention to?
Side and keel pipes should be connected in front of the device. This will make your hang glider with a motor more streamlined and, accordingly, aerodynamic. At the same time, a mast must be attached to the upper part of the structure, which will serve as a support for the fixed cables. Lateral mechanisms should be fixed on a fork-based design of a hang glider. Remember that all of these units must be placed separately from the pipes. Otherwise, in the future, this will lead to the formation of unnecessary joints, which is fraught with a deterioration in aerodynamics during flight. The steering mechanism should also be firmly fixed in the motor hang glider, the movement of its handle should be easily carried out with one hand. At the final stage, stretch the skin over the structure.
Finally, we answer the important question: "How much is a motor hang glider in stores?" Depending on the manufacturer and the technical characteristics of the engine, its price can vary from 50 to 160 thousand rubles. In fact, assembling a motor hang glider with your own hands, you save up to half this cost.
