- CGS Aviation grew out of "Chuck's Glider Supplies." In the early 1970s, Chuck Slusarczyk designed, built, and sold hang gliders and various associated supplies. Shortly thereafter, he began experimenting with the powered hang glider, propelled at the time by small direct-drive go-kart engines. The propeller was bolted directly to the crankshaft of the engine and turned at high (5,000-6,000 rpm) speeds. Chuck realized that this design was not efficient.
With this shortcoming as an impetus, Chuck successfully designed and produced a power system implementing a reduction drive to turn a larger-diameter, more efficient propeller. By 1977, Chuck's Glider Supplies had become a leading manufacturer of hang gliders with a successful division producing power plants for a variety of ultralights. For his pioneering efforts, Chuck was awarded Patent No. 4.262.263, "Powered Hang Glider with Reduction Drive." By 1979, Chuck's Glider Supplies was manufacturing 80% of all drive systems used in the ultralight industry.
In October 1979, Chuck's Glider Supplies became CGS Aviation, Inc. In early 1980, CGS conducted a market study at Sun N Fun and also Oshkosh to determine the features of an ultralight most desired by pilots. The "Hawk" was the end result of that study. The first prototype took to the air in January 1982. The CGS Hawk's debut was in March 1982, at Sun N Fun air show held in Lakeland, Florida There, the findings of the market study were proven out as the Hawk took top honors, winning Best New Design for 1982. The Hawk again took top honors for Outstanding New Design and Reserve Grand Champion that same year at the EAA International Convention held in August 1982 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. One year later, again at Oshkosh, the Hawk won the prestigious Dupont Kevlar ARV (Air Recreational Vehicle) Design Competition hands down over a field of over 126 ARV designs.
When the CGS Hawk debuted in 1982, it was the first fully enclosed ultralight. It was also the first ultralight to use full strut bracing and incorporated full 3 axis controls (including conventional steerable nose or tail wheel). The CGS Hawk was also the first ultralight to utilize fully functional wing flaps. Following the Hawk's leadership, competitive designs have since followed and entered the market, but even after 32 years none of them possesses the form, function, and owner loyalty the CGS Hawk enjoys. The CGS Hawk still remains the standard of comparison for the ultralight/light aircraft industry around the world.
The CGS Hawk design definitely paved the way for others to follow, and in 1999 Chuck Slusarczyk was one of the first three ultralight pioneers inducted into the EAA Ultralight Hall of Fame during its inaugural year.

If you have interest in the video showing live data visit dashware.net. It's a free software package used to make the video. You can buy a Contour Camera that has a built-in GPS data logger or you can use any camera and buy a cheap GPS data logger separately and sync it to the video. You can buy a used Contour camera on Ebay. If you purchase one make sure it's the camera with GPS. Contour Camera is out of business. GoPro was the winner of the battle. - Розваги
good stuff. nice bird...one day I'll have one! love the graphics of the air speed, alt. etc! nice to see all the info one the video in real time.
Thanks for sharing your thought processes. Helps us dreamers work out scenarios in our minds before we even take flight. :)
Thanks for the positive feedback
Excellent, would love to start the sport 😊
Thanks for the positive feedback
Great little plane. I built 2 of them, both arrows, kept one for several years. Fun little plane to fly, very forgiving and you always feel safe. The planes were designed so well, I could put my hands out the sides and fly it with my hands to the wind. I seldom flew with doors on, I LOVED the feeling of FLIGHT. PPL SEL

I did like your video! I'm an old Grumman Yankee pilot. Now retired, I did enjoy your video on the Hawk. Thanks!
I really liked this clip. I've seen hundreds. Not that many do a smooth pace full lesson to learn something. The music was soft and not intrusive. Good job.
Fear of heights is not enough to stop me from wanting to do this, or powered parachutes....Great video, super well done, seems like a Great Plane
Fun stuff! Always wanted to have and fly an ultralight!
What a great UL. Its got it all. Instruments, flaps, enclosed cockpit... AAAAND.. totally forgiving.
Outstanding video! Thank you.
Excellent instruction and explanation! Thank you and it . Is. Fun!
I like it. Never had one, but this 2-seater looks good and can be had for the price of a car.
Excellent lesson.
Roy, thanks for sharing
So much fun.... thank you for the demo.....
magnum mesiona b
Very good clip. I'd like to try that someday.
That is one beautiful bird.
You just reminded me of being afraid of heights.
Sure love the visibility
I never knew that you hold opposite aileron for a wing over but it does make sense to help stall the wing. I'm sure a lot of people ask but since I still get different answers 4 an inexperienced pilot like myself it wants to get into ultralight flying do you recommend going and getting a full light sport aircraft rating? Although I do love this plane I sort of have my heart set on a legal eagle since I like the idea of a four-stroke being a little easier on the ears and a two stroke and I hope to build one in my backyard over a couple years after I buy a house in the next year or so, though I guess I could bite the bullet and just buy used ultralight plane for 10 grand or less and be up in the air sooner aside from the whole pilot instruction part. Either way thanks for bringing this awesome footage with the live data, looking forward to more videos since I can't get enough of ultra lights
Thanks Roy, nice video. Question: your airspeed indicator looked like it was well into the green arc at the stall break, or did I miss something?
Nice video!
Excellent Training .6/19/2021
Roy is there any way You can make another video explaining the power settings on final and landing ? I bought older tail dragger Hawk . The person I bought it from said to touch down with a min. of 22 hundred rpm but with that much rpm the plane wants to keep on flying !!! Thank"s , Bob
good instructions
Hey Roy,
I've been looking at those Werner radio engines because of their high-end technology and greater horsepower for their size and weight.
They make a 3 cylinder for ultralight at 38 horsepower, would that work on your model?
I've saved your video above for review, so I can relearn some things that I thought I had forgotten!
Thank you for your time and Kudos on a great video!
Thank You Sir
Are you TRYING to tempt it to spin? Steering with full rudder inputs and cross coordinating at near stall is just inviting a spin.
THANKS!!!
how large a pilot can fit this ultralight handle?? im 6ft 260...thax
I'm looking for a good place to get some instruction and supervised flight time somewhere in West Texas, any ideas on who/where?
Nice clip
nice job
THANKS !
I like the video.
Good day Sir..ilove this Video..Ilove this Ultra Light..amazing..cool..funtastic..iam using For training..joy flight..surveylance..ilove this ultra light..god bless..
I would love the view from there. How do i get in?
thanks helps lots
Roy. I own a MX Sprint that I recently converted to a MX Sport wing. I noticed very good speed increase but along with that came a lot more right yaw. Is this normal for the Sport vs the Sprint?? With yaw corrected with rudder, it flies perfectly straight and level hands off the stick. Is there a way to relieve the rudder pressure with some mod that I don't know about? Its quite heavy compared to the old Sprint but goes away completely when the engine is cut back for landing. I'm thinking about attaching a rudder trim tab. Any thoughts? Are you available for discussion on this??
I live in Orlando can you teach me how to fly. Where are you guys are located at?
It's so beautiful plane
I fly R/C planes 5 foot wing span but would love to have one of these and I should have been a pilot but when the push engine stops on these ultra lite - how good do they glide will they stall fast or do they glide pretty nice ?? Awesome vid
Buy a Challenger 2. Affordability, and I been practicing glide in landings with engine out. Its very gental and easy to land...also mine has a brs parachute incase of major emergency but ive yet to know anyone to use it...nice to know its there just incase.
Open lights library will have great glide ratios..... Also there are a lot of good plans on the market to build yourself such as the affordaplane or the legal eagle
I had a Quicksilver MX and I flew it at Lake Elsinore southern California in 1982. I was using a book to develop my flying, one section suggested that if the engine could be started from the seat, you might wish to practise this. "get to 2,000 feet, level out, throttle back and turn off the ignition, turn the ignition back on and restart the engine. Everything went OK until I tried to turn over the engine whilst holding the control column, it was just too difficult using just one hand. I didn't want to let go of the control column because it was very bumpy that day. I started to panic but as I realised I was never going to get the engine going again I switched over to actually landing the plane. The glide ratio of the MX was around 8:1 but I got it down Ok. My instructor was there and said it was a good dead stick landing but thought I had attempted it too soon in my flying career. I realised about 35 years later that if I had put the nose down to increase speed, I might have been able to turn the engine over one handed.
Happy days.
John.
Its my understanding that many ultra lite planes have a 12 to 1 glide ratio, the same as a Boeing 767 compared to the 10 to 1 glide ratio of a Cessna 172.
What is the typical distance you can cover before needing to fill up again? I know they aren't allowed to carry more than 5 gallons of fuel.
sir, i was just wondering if a VTOL setup can be develop with this kind of aircraft, with 1 engine per wing configuration. thanks
Do it do it do it do it!!!!!! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
is that a 103 legal ultralight?
Are there any books that cover Ultralight safe flying practices?
Where do you fly out of? I'm in the north mextro-plex area and would like to come watch.
Case 275 that is propwash airport south of Denton
Nice plane and good instruction. What confuses me is your speed indicator. Ground track speed is not an indicator of how the airframe is flying. I would add a Peto tube and airspeed indicator.
Why does that confuse you??
capt. Red I'm not a ultralight owner or pilot, but to me and every A&P I have asked, TRIM TAB is the correct fix, I mean there used on everything from a C-150 to a Falcon 900, only difference in your's and the Cessna to Falcon is there's is done w/power from electric to hydraulic -try it if you don't like it take it off -its not go'in to stress anything -no more then when you apply full Rudder, good luck!

Roy, Do you know if the flight characteristics of a TBird II is close to the flight characteristics of a CGS??
yes
Roy Dawson h
Greetings Roy, how would one go about getting instruction for a part 103 if you don’t have adequate experience? Thanks for the videos
were do you live??
Roy Dawson I live in Sarasota Fl. About 50 miles south of Tampa
Look up ultralite clubs www.usua.org/Clubs/
if you can take a week off going to Louisiana, Air tech can teach air-techinc.com/
Lovely little aircraft, nice video too - thanks.
But why risk low altitude stalls when demonstrating such - more height and more margin for error would be safer.
He's not flying a DC3.
Looks like he loses about 20ft.
Sir. Your video is very informative! I've always wanted to fly but believe it or not, I'm afraid of heights. I was wondering, have you ever written an instructional book about flying? Thank-you
No book. Funny I'm afraid of heights like look over the edge of a building but not when flying. Try it
Thanks, I will. Your so calm and in control when flying that it's hard to believe you have a fear of heights as well!
How much for this aircraft ?
what would be the problem of putting a bigger engine on that plane?
the fuel tank
i want to learn to fly one of these
Can plane be used without alerion?
Yes, as long as you don't ever want to turn, and as long as there is no crosswind at takeoff and landing.
Fun ..
what qualification do you need to fly a untralight?
nothing,
+Roy Dawson ok how old do you have to be?
17
dont even think you have to be a certain age
rogue powersports a brain
is it 103
I don’t understand why most people believe they must have music, if you can call it that, in their videos
thanks bubba
Why are you doing stall again? I didn’t get it
Probably for the same reason you practice sliding in ice and snow in a parking lot...so when it happens, you know how to correct and recover control.
@@poopjeans1135 My wife hates when I practice skids on ice but guess who gets asked to drive her to work on an icy day?
Max Kallio You practice stalls so you learn to control the aircraft In slow flight and be able to control the aircraft in the landing and takeoff configuration. When you land the object is to touch down at the slowest speed possible.
looks like the old homer kolb.
Why the music?
I am looking for a good place to get instruction nearest to houston
Houston Area Light Flyers facebook.com/sportflyers01/
Whats the price on one of these new?
+Justin Angers guess 20k
can you turn down the tunes. if i was next to you i would want to here you and the aircraft. i am looking to fly in the sky. but now i am a bike flyer, flying on the road.and i what to here the machine not any tunes. peace and love matters please stand by over
john pennell I agree. Terrific video, music not necessary.
You can tell from the comments AND like myself most wanna learn to fly but he says at one point in the video in regards to a ‘crab’ grip and ‘forward slip’ that we might wanna “ look these up” ?? Why not take a few more seconds of ur time and explain these things?!? So now we leave this video and “ look up” those things when if they were included in the instruction it would have been a more complete learning tool. Sorry for the rant, we all could do with less key strokes these days. Otherwise a good video thanks for posting. I’m off to find out what “crab grip” and “forward slip” are....
You crab into the wind to maintain your course. A slip, side or forward is simply a fast way to loose altitude ( usually when you are high on final ) by creating a crapload of drag on the aircraft.
I noticed you are landing at about 57 knots . Given the type of aircraft , shouldn’t it be more closer to around 40s ? Also can you do a short field landing ? I can make the wheels touch on the numbers every time in a 172 .
the indicator is in mph
And ground speed mentioned at the beginning and mph is shown on the screen
The hawk slows down so fast that a high approach speed doesn’t matter much unlike a Cessna. you don’t want to fly near stall speed on approach with an ultralight in case there’s wind shear or an engine problem . They stall so quickly because they are such high drag airplanes. It’s a perfect approach speed in a hawk.
mark r pa usa thx u make me fly
Good training Vid it would help to Please drop the music it does nothing but distract the listener, I wish everyone would realize this when making aviation training videos.
What keeps me from the hawk is the reflections on the wind shield. Thats annoying.
Cover anything glossy with black felt. I did it on a dashboard of a car once. It cast a reflection of the dash above the steering wheel onto the windshield. One 12x8 piece of black felt and issue fixed.
Only solution I found for this are polarised sunglasses, I use a cheap non tinted set that cost around $10 - work great. I don't think the felt will work as the instruments are what is reflecting not the "dash" like in a car.
Why the drumbeat background?
Ummm it seems camera on flight hand and controls would be beneficial.
The hawk single seat does not qualify as a part 103 ultralight...too heavy.
Don't have to be a snitch.
It will make weight with a hirth f-33
H.E.L.L Check?
Too heavy and too fast to be an ultralight in Texas, according to your specs.
Loose the "Music".
I agree. Cant turn the volume down without losing the spoken narrative.
Not a bad video. Why takeoff on the downwind side of the runway? You should be aiming for the left side. it’s kinda funny you say your using a crab and you’re completely right of the runway and barely crabbed. You needed to crab more man. The words are right, but you’re not making the airplane do as you say. And that extra speed didn’t really help ya. Slow jt the heck down and crab more. And land on the upwind side. That first go around was the correct thing to do, I probably wouldn’t have landed on that second one. Your just not controlling drift enough. 7000 hour pilot here (2100 in ultralights).
That stupid background music is totally annoying. Makes it difficult to concentrate on what you're saying.
Go watch something else then
I like the video but I agree the music is annoying. So many videos on youtube feel the need for musical noise in the background. just as a suggestion if you feel the need for it make sure it does not compete with with the narration. Nice aircraft though!
For a simpleton , yes..
mk
Why the irritating drums couldn’t get through the video. Maddening.
good info, but if you want anyone to watch, get rid of the helmet cam... not pleasant to watch....
@@nathanielcohen9890 too much movement. Make me seasick. How to fix cam in the background get all the information you want in the video without the kasim Reed bouncing around left to right up and down
Must proofread
It was awesome grandpa.
William Fillman , You do not need to make a second post explaining errors. You CAN edit your post! Click on the 3 little dots on the right.
I used a built in data logger which was built in the Condor Camera. You can use this cheap data loggerwww.amazon.com/Canmore-GT-730FL-S-Rechargeable-Waypoints-Compatible/dp/B002UWKUZQ this will work. I have not tested a data logger on my I ph
Helmet cam makes me dizzy. Yikes
ffs lose the muzak!
About what I expected from someone with no training. Next video is probably tragic as a result of a stall at 500ft. I'm surprised at how little people value their own lives when they do these things. Makes for entertaining watching though. I hope the pilot is still kicking today.
uglyduckling81 the pilot is a trained pilot with a license. See other videos. Many ultralight pilots have the proper training. Only a few are self taught.
Lol...you have no idea what you’re taking about obviously...you just want people to,think you do..
@@chucksawyer8230 I don't remember this video or comment. I did a quick skim through the video to see what I was talking about. The comment makes no sense given the content. I have a feeling I commented on the wrong video.
Yours is an old post but worthy of a reply. The standard height for practicing ultralight stalls is 600ft agl.
are you sure it,s a UL? at least not from the company...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CGS_Hawk
and breaking halfway intoa spin at the left turn at 28 kts? 🤣have fun...at leats thta .s how it looked,...check the parameters on the wiki and maybe give some info how it became a 24 kts stall UL...thanks!
