The last half of that video shows him flying around just having fun. Speed tests: he was able to get 50 km/h and declared that the top speed. Basically a man-carrying drone. It was impressive. Looks like a lot of fun, too! 😄 Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

September 10, 20205 yr I thought I recognised the guy and the countryside... this was done with 8 engines 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!)

September 11, 20205 yr But you must be amazed, or incredulous, at the fact he's flying himself around using a radio control transmitter!

September 11, 20205 yr Moderator He must have asked MS to develop the flight dynamics... 😉 (jk!) Yeah, it was rather interesting. I'm sure the XYL wouldn't let him fly that in the backyard! 😵 Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

September 17, 20205 yr Moderator Well of course they are more stable. There is a H U G E difference between one man's $10k home built and likely closer to $1m team effort... 😉 Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
