Supa-Tuna tuning lights. We carry a comprehensive range of spare parts for the Explorer LD and a large range for the original Explorer. We also carry various accesories to suit both these harnesses. We are agents for an Australian designed and built tuning light. These use an oxygen sensor in the exhaust to detect if the engine is running lean, rich or right. For more information look at our Supa-Tuna page.Our PT15 digital tachometer is useful not only for powered harnesses and trikes, but can be used on almost any small engine, 2 or 4 stroke. It indicates RPM and also total engine hours.

Airtime Products
Airtime Products is dedicated to producing nanolight powered flight products. The Explorer LD powered hang glider harness is our inaugral product.In 1997 the first production model of the Explorer foot launched powered hang glider harness was released. The Discovery Paramotor and the Powerlite soaring trike base followed this. In 2004 Airtime Products ceased production. Now we are back in business with new ownership, but with the support of the original owners.
The Explorer LD has been developed from a prototype produced by the original Airtime Products, but with our own design philosophy and emphasis on safety.
Take a look through our website and see what we have to offer. Our unique FAQ/FORUM page will develop into a central source of information regarding the products, freight, the company, troubleshooting etc.FLPHG
Foot Launched Powered Hang Gliding provides a way of reducing frustrating hang-waiting and hang-driving whilst still enjoying the weight shift flight.
Soaring flights can be started earlier or later in the day, with a much better chance of connecting with that all important first thermal.
If toward the end of the flight the thermals have become unusable, start the engine and cruise back to your launch site.
FLPHG also opens up a whole new range of launch options, from flat paddocks to small hills or even mountains. No need for drivers, tow ropes, winches and huge padocks. Previously innaccessible soaring areas become easily accessed with the Explorer LD.Pictures
