WOW! How well does it fly? That's the smallest person-carrying aircraft
I've ever seen.

The guy who fly's it is the one hanging onto the wing.
He tells me he weighs 90kg and he has a set of weights, forward of the
motor. If he carries more than homself, he has to increase the front
weights (balance weight). If a lighter person fly's it, weights have to be
taken out :)

It is powered by a tiny twin cylinder 2 stroke, altra lite motor.

Cheers,
Ron

Although the original had a distressing habit of falling put of the sky.
Presumably that problem's been fixed if these are licensable?

Well, that answers my question about flying qualities ;-)
