Hang Glider Moyes Litesport [Lightsport Litespeed]
Print Profile(1)

Description
This is a model that was based in principle / outline on an .stl found elsewhere on web, but then designed from the ground up based on an actual hang glider (specifically Manufacturer Moyes, model Litesport. If you snip off (or don't print) the kingpost, it will essentially be a topless Litespeed model) The control frame (downtubes, king post, etc are all “aerodynamic” as in real life rather than simple round tubes).
[This is not a paraglider, or parasail These wings do not collapse from turbulence & yes pilots have a backup parachute of which 99.9% of pilot never find occasion to use. Not a trike or powered hang glider / weight shift control aircraft, but those are cool too ;]
As is, there are 5 colors, so the control frame (with king post) & keel have to be printed on a separate plate. They are aluminum colored in real life. Requires a 4 color AMS for the hang glider itself, unless you print in a single color (I did not). The glider iteself is white, blue, yellow, and black (4 colors). And the control frame / keel is a 5th color (gray).
After printing both plates:
1) Glue the keel in place
2) Then slip the king post with control frame through the hole in the keel and glider and glue that in place
NOTE: I printed the model as is, and only need 1. I then made some additional mods to the print file for you. I did not print that one as well SO you may need to modify it slightly for best fit / outcome. Please do not FLAME me, or give me poor ratings, or I will not likely share anything else, I get nothing really from sharing except giving joy to others, so please be joyful and not flame throwing if you print this model and it is not perfect! ;) If you are a hang glider pilot or enthusiast, then you are brave and intelligent enough to figure it out.
