Motorized hang gliders push limits at Kitty Hawk beach
At Kitty Hawk North Carolina hobbyists install 10 horsepower engines on hang gliders to gain altitude and speed. The upgraded craft promise simpler takeoffs from small fields and potential use as transport, with costs around 2000 dollars and operating costs about 60 cents per hour. Enthusiasts note easier rising climbs up to 1000 feet and a cleaner learning path, though noise and safety concerns persist.
