[Hanggliders]

Since
nolongerslate came by Kain's shrine inquiring about transportation, I've had some ideas for Kain providing blueprints on how to build hanggliders.
Err...think something like this.
The gliders will come in two versions, a single rider one powered by pedal powered system that works the wings and keeps it afloat. This one can be folded up to a large backpack and made transportable so you can use it to explore and then carry it around while walking on ground. It can come with a small basket to carry small supplies but is meant as a lightweight, short distance glider that will allow anyone to fly it out.
A double-rider or supply glider is solar or god-powered with pedal powered manuvering. With solar panels on the body and the wings that convert energy into the wings system. Because it is heavier, it requires at least a day's charge to get a day's flight. Generally as long as there is direct sun, it will stay charged. If not, it can be recharged by Kain up. This is a stronger long distance glider that will allow two people to fly side by side with a basket in back or one person to fly with a carrier above them capable of carrying a person or equipment. This glider is harder to build.
The idea is that the blueprints will be provided to Zelgadis but it is up to Thusians if they want to actually make them. Thoughts?
