Weight Shift: 1978-1980

 

Weightshift Quicksilver "B", from plans. Had a Yamaha 90 dirt bike engine with the transmission sawed off, and a direct drive prop. Every once in a while, it would climb out of ground effect.
 

 

The Gemini power pack had two 8 horse engines that mounted on the control bar of your hang glider. I had them on an Oly 180. As you can see, prayer was appropriate...

 

Easy Riser: Very stable when the thrust line is correct, very nasty when it is not.
 

 

Can't handle crosswind landings, but on a calm evening, a neat little ultralight.
