Microlight Aircraft of New Zealand - Pterodactyls (3) - a Ptiger

The Pterodactyl Ptiger was developed from the Ascender II+ and featured a fibreglass tub which replaced the basic Ascender airframe, and a wingspan that was reduced by 4 feet to 29 feet.  And as a result it could reach 75 mph in level flight instead of the 45 mph cruise of the Ascender.  It was powered by the same Cuyuna 430R engine as the Ascender.  We have only had one Ptiger registered in New Zealand and I will include it here because it was registered in 1982: 

Murray Hagen told me that he did some agricultural work in the Ptiger, spreading cobalt prills.to promote stock health.
