The Pixie was highly portable.

Len says it would have been better than the present foot launch (power-harness) category as the pilot's legs are protected during landing.

Indeed, such lightweight trike power units for hang gliders are available in the USA, typified by the 90 lb North Wing ATF (Air Time Fix) and the 95 lb Lookout Mountain Hang Gliding SkyCycle.
