Aquilla1 Solowings microlight with a Rotax 618/74hp.
This aircraft has a trike unit suspended under a wing evolved from the hang-glider. Control is by using the control bar to shift the weight of the trike (ie the combined mass of the pod, engine and occupants) relative to the wing. The instructor will sit on the back seat and teach the student on the front seat. The instructor has full control from the back with the training bars on the "A" frame and a foot throttle on the right foot.
