December 18, 20196 yr This video instantly caught my eye when it flashed past my Youtube suggestions, because somebody made this thing as a freeware in Aerofly, and I after the first few tries I could no longer even attempt to fly it, especially in VR was/is absolutely terrifying for me. Like being on a rickety broomstick at 20,000 feet. I have a bit of a daredevil in me, and I would gladly do something like bungee jumping off a bridge..... But this thing? Nope, nope, nope!!!

December 18, 20196 yr Always wanted to fly one of those. Can't remember what its called. There was discussion about building one at my former gliding club. Pretty easy to flight apparently and easy to stay aloft because they are so light.

December 18, 20196 yr Yeap! That's the one alright. Funny that. I'd fly that in a heart beat given the chance but I wouldn't do a bungee jump! You'd have to be nuts to do that!🤣

December 21, 20196 yr I'm like Avidean - no to a bungee jump, but I'd have a go in (on?) that glider. Then again I do have a few hours in more substantial gliders... although never solo... which might be a slight issue Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot. The best "lite" MD-11 money can buy (well, it's not freeware!)
