4/5/2023 0 Comments E lift hang glider![]() ![]() I used a 32' rigid flying wing with tip drag rudders and a McCullough 101 chain saw engine. Maximum static thrust 514N (52.5 lbs) at 13.5 kW outputīattery pack details: 25Ah Li-Pol, 14S 5P 20-30C, peak voltage 63V, charging time 45-60minĪverage powered flight time: 20min (single charge)īefore there were Trikes we foot launched. Maximum climb rate: 2,2m/sec (Gradient Avax XC3 26, take-off weight 110Kg) Maximum propellerRPM: 2350 RPM (three blade 125cm) Propeller Set Weight: 1,5Kg (prop diameter 125cm, three carbon blades, head with folding mechanism) Harness Weight: 8,5Kg (harness, internal aluminium framerescue system, back protector)Įngine Set Weight: 9,5Kg (engine, carbon frame, regulator, throttle control with cable, carbon composite casing)īattery Pack Weight: 9Kg (size: 35cmx15cmx20cm, capacity: 25 A/h) It interested me that it seemed to meet the 50W per pound rule of thumb. I don't know whether this will help in choosing the proper equipment. build might start this winter if all goes well! I would like to try and keep the budget around $1500 to $2000 max. Thanks in advance for any help, I am open to suggestions and modifications. Hang gliding is a pretty safe sport, Alot of people build their own powered harness' I just haven't seen many electric ones and I would like to develop something affordable and easy to build so more people can enjoy FLPH (foot launched powered hanggliding) and help to build the sport up some more. Please feel free to give your suggestions and advice and ask questions about anything. I don't want to start the project unless the numbers look promising because this thing isn't going to be cheap I have 15 years expierence in RC so building the rig will be easy. So, if I can get at least 110 that would be good as well as a runtime of maybe 15-20min. I hear the Gas powed units produce 110lbs of thrust or so, and I am told 100lbs is the absolute minimum thrust required. Takeoff would be at full throttle until a safe height of about 200-300ft is reached. Enough runtime to do that about 3 times would be great, or enough to climb to 4000-5000ft would work too. I would need enough power to push me up to at least 1500-2000ft agl at least one time. minimum takeoff speed is basically as fast as you can run stall speed is very low although I don't know the exact number (maybe 10mph). The glider plus my weight will weigh around 275-300lbs. So, what kind of thrust could I expect with this setup, what kind of runtime? I would provide more information on each item but I cannot access hobbyking from this server. There is one hang glider pilot that I found using electric power but as far as I know he cannot take off from flat land, the electric only assists a little bit.īatteries: 7S 5000mah wired together to make either a 14S 10,000mah or 20,000mah depending on weight.Įsc: I hear the Turnigy Dlux 250 is better than the 300A one HK has available. I am on my way to becoming a certified hang glider pilot and in the future I would like to get into foot launched powered hang gliding (strapping a motor to my butt so I can take off from flat land ) There are units out there for sale that are fuel powered and cost around $5,000 which is alot of money! I know alot of the powered paraglider guys are making their own electric powered harness' and I would like to do the same, although a hang glider is going to require slightly more power to be feasable. So if you guys don't mind, I could use a little help. Nor can I access some of the sites to get more detailed information on the motor, speed control and batteries. I know I could use the E-calc but from where I am currently at, I cannot access it. ![]()
