Quattro!, The First And Only SPHG Quad... First Flight!

This is Quattro, The First And Only SPHG Quad that I built to comply with the UK'S. SPHG Rules of being sub 70 or 75kg if a reserve parrashoot is fitted.

I started to build it in 2016 after the rules were changed allowing for wheel launching a powered hang glider.. the rules would come into affect in 2017.

I built Quattro in my bedroom!, it took over a year to make, then it sat for years gathering dust untill I could afford a light enough engine..

that happened earlier this year and I was then able to make it comply with the weight limit....

this is my first flight for 11 years and I'm on a new to me wing and I never did a powered wheel launch before now, only foot launching, which I can now confirm is much more difficult than in my Quad on wheels.

I built Quattro but I would not be flying it now if it wasn't for the help of others in my life!..

people like Pete Jones! for the gift of the WillsWing Eagle 164, My Mum,My Dad who paid for the engine before he left us forever.
Tony Lubovichi for the free carbon prop!, Andrew Wilson for a prop for the first engine!

Clinton Saunders helped too!, even though he might not realise it.

other friend aboard also chipped in while I was building it skint, Patric Boabach, Cindy Emerencia!..

I want to thank John Edge too for believing in Quattro's structural integrity and trusting me enough to invite me to his flying club and coaching me!

I could not have got this far without this help!...

Thank You All So Much!
