~~~~~ We have DOZENS of name-brand hang gliders in stock... ...contact us if you don't see one that fits your needs. (262)903-8800 for live tech support.~~~~~~~ You MUST be at least a USHGA / USHPA Novice (Hang 2) rated hang glider pilot (or foreign equiv.) to purchase this hang glider...or your Hang Gliding Instructor must be willing to accept it on your behalf. Sorry, but your bid will be CANCELLED and the item will be RE-LISTED otherwise. If you're not qualified, and/or don't yet have an instructor, please don't bid !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What a sweet deal on a sweet nearly-mint condition recreational hang glider! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Are you looking for a fun, light, easy recreational hang glider that performs like a Falcon but is as easy to fly as an Alpha? This is your glider! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ideal for pilots with a body weight from 150 to 230 lbs.! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The NORTHWING EZY 190 is a current-production model hang glider that retails new for ~$3,890. You can own this near-new condition pre-owned Ezy 190 and save over $1,000! Northwing is an American hang glider manufacturer based in WashingtonState. They currently produce the popular EZY along with the Horizon, the Freedom, the Liberty, the T2 tandem glider, and a selection of wings used with motor systems. See their website at . This beautiful blue & white EZY 190 has had two owners, both of whom who took very good care of it. It was stored indoors, cool and dry, and transported carefully...even the coverbag looks good. Both owners were older gentlemen who had taken a Novice/Hang 2 training program in hang gliding (they trained on school gliders, not on this one) and then owned this EZY for fun flying. Neither one of them got to fly it very much beyond some low ground-skimming flights before they both decided to retire from hang gliding. It has perhaps two dozen low flights on it, less than one hour total time, very little exposure to sunlight, no crashes (just a few light whacks on landing)...the biggest scuffs/blems on the sail are shown in the photos. The deep blue cloth on the leading edge is still vibrant, bright, and reasonably clean, with virtually no signs of fading and only minor scuffs. The white cloth of the main body is still crisp and plastic-y, with no signs of cottoning out. Two minor issues: The shortest batten (which is straight) on one side was lost, and a replacement batten was fabricated from appropriate tubing. It looks fine and it works perfectly. The original coverbag was lost, and one of the owners purchased a used coverbag to replace it. The used coverbag works perfectly. The zipper is good, the bag is undamaged, but it is faded in places. That’s it! Nothing else wrong with it. It looks virtually new because it has seen almost zero use, almost zero hours of sunlight, almost zero road-miles, almost zero whacks, and no damage. This is a rare chance for some lucky pilot to assume ownership of a virtually-new used Northwing EZY 190 for a substantial discount off the price of a new one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It doesn't matter if you are just learning to soar or a seasoned Hang 5 pilot, you will find pure soaring pleasure in the effortless handling qualities and superb sink rate of the EZY series. The EZY will become an extension of your mind, you will start to feel like a bird, as if you can take off and land almost anywhere. Furthermore, with a 5 minute set-up time, you likely will fly more often! Have you ever not flown because of the time it takes to set up your glider? Then consider this: • Great sink rate • Effortless handing • And.... 5 minute set-up!
