Lightfly Light Trike

Yes, they are on our website. flylight. co. uk. Go to the flexwing section on the menu and you'll be guided from there.

Can we get some progress photos on the bodywork or maybe some more video?

I cant wait!!!!

Yes it will be avialable in the States, There is no final price until the development program has ended, the price is for trike and wing.
The basic will be the cheapest option and this will come without fairings.
No plans for a bigger tank, with the present tank and the Bailey it can stay in the air for over 4 hours.
It will be fairly straight forward to install a larger tank.

So this will be avaliable in the USA????

Is the Price listed below (13,850) the final price for USA sales?????

Whats the fuel efficency like???

Can it be bought cheaper (less than 13,850) without the body work????

Is a Bigger fuel tank a feature for longer distance flying???

i ask these question because im looking for a low cost and nice flying machine to get me in the sky!!!!!

The bodywork is being made at present, should have pictures in 2-3 weeks time.

Are there pictures available of the body work for this unit? I think there are a bunch of us out here that would like to see more.

The trike is between 35 and 45 kg depending on engine and fit. Yes we will be selling the trike seperately but, the wing that you choose will have to be able to take the additional weight. You will effectively become the aircraft designer / builder
Contact the wing manufacturer if in doubt.

What is the weight of the trike unit without glider? Could this trike be purchased without the wing and flown with a conventional freeflight hang glider? If so, what is the cost of the unit without the wing?

Thanks

15 - 18 Hp, depending on engine
100 - 110 kg depending on engine wt.
4g limit load, 6g ultimate.

hp? payload? g rating?

Thanks for the information. When will you be taking orders and showing the options? I would really like to see one with the fairings on it. I assume that you will be selling these with the Discus... I think there are a few people that will be eager to see some updates on your web page.

Looks like it's time for me to start taking hang gliding lessons.

It is sub 8000 british pounds including wing and17.5% british tax, dollar price will be approximately $13,850. Ready for early year 2008. We have an American Dealer, Paul Olson.
Go to our website, Doodle Bug page and in the ordering section is our dealers.

When will these be available in the US and who will the dealer be? Is that sub $8K American and will that include a wing? Thanks for the info, looks awesome!

Yes, it is designed to be soared as a hang glider, 12:1 glide with a 200 feet / min sink rate engine off.
Yes we are looking at an electric powered one, batteries arrive this week!
