That's cool.. it doesn't need much speed to get lift with that sail.. I'd like to see the landing.

Gracias Señior Boots! That does look pretty smooth! Looks like he's got the motor pretty well set up too! Not sure I'd go very high, but I'd like to try a little Spruce Goose up and down!

Just for your knowledge, I listen to the interview. The engine is 50 HP Rotax (500CC) (I am guessing they took it from a bike). Speed is 50 (Km/h??) not sure how these guys who fly these things with "wings" measure their speed.
The took a 30 years old Ape that was a wreck, restored it and painted it orange to make more visible in the air.. it weighs 240 Kg....
