Northwing Illusion (basic double surface glider) for sale

Post by ErikHG »

North Wing Illusion 11m for sale (have moved up to a Litesport). This is a friendly, easy to fly, basic double surface glider (no VG).

Very good condition, about 36 hours flying time. This glider has been described as a refined Pulse/Mark IV. Would also make a great beach glider or glider for a powered harness/light trike (it was built with heavy side-wires).

160-250 lb hook-in

see http://www.northwing.com/products_hang_ill.shtml for full description

Wheels, extra downtube included.

$1250

Located in Charlottesville, VA, can e-mail picture.

Hi Erik,
Can you let me know if the rear flying wires are 47 inches or more behind the hand straps where they each attach to the keel.
If they are less than 47" in distance apart, then the keel can easily be cut for use with a motor harness.
If the distance is more than 47" (or even 48"), then the wires would have to be shortened and moved forward on the keel to accomodate the motor harness....do-able, but certainly a more complicated process.
Also, what production year is this Illusion?
thanks,
Marco (proud Vision Pulse owner for many moons)
