[edit] Summary
Author: Myself, Gerry Farell. Location: England Description: Photo of Brian Sanderson's Mosquito powered hang glider harness.
The Mosquito was designed and produced by Swedish inventor Johan Åhling (Swedish AeroSport). Åhling's Mosquito flew first on 1987, but it had only 10 horsepower and a few problems had to be worked out. When the Mosquito was released again on 1990 with a reliable 15hp (10.2 kg, 118cc) go-kart engine [32] its appeal grew first amongst European and Australian hang glider pilots, and it was not until the late 1990s that the Mosquito started to become somewhat popular in North America, that by then, was obsessed with larger and heavier ultralights and undergoing a decreasing hang glider pilot population. Åhling's Mosquito was later redesigned in the late 90's and released in 2000 as the NRG.
