This is a Northwing Sport with a GT-5 wing and 80 HP engine. With this combination, I can cruise right at 70 mph with trip full fast. The wing has flown very close to the numbers listed on their website, so if you're curious what different wings will do, check www.northwing.com. I'm not sure where the ultimate altitude is, but Light Sport is limited to 10,000 ft. I have been as high as 7,500 ft. Most flights are 2,000 - 3,000 ft. The aircraft has a 14 gal tank and you burn about 3.5 gal/hour, so with an hour reserve you get about 3 hours of flight time and at 70 mph you get 210 miles. Actual distance will depend on wind speed and actual fuel burn.
It’s best not to fly when there’s rain. Dacron sails will soak up water adding considerable weight. This will increase stall speed and decent rate. This flight was after rain had passed through so the ground was wet but the air was fine.
If you swing by the Portland area, get in touch. I can take you out flying weather permitting. Use the form on my website www.cozyserenity.net to reach me.
