I was looking at adapting this to a Mosquito Harness.

From this page:
http://www.wind-drifter.com/technical/estartconvert.php
".. reinstalling the assembly in the harness requires only re-attaching the 3 rubber mount points."

You could convert your Mosquito Harness to an Urban Quiet Short term Launch System in less than 5 minutes for $1,000. And convert it back to gas in 5 minutes.
