Wonder who is going to fly this bird?
Two days before scheduled first flight.
Wonder if they will kit the bird?

Hopefully he'll borrow Mollers tether for the flight.

Hi Big John!
Well, the downside...
I don't see much camber in those wings...
And with (very small) rockets for power I would expect a fairly
short duration - and low speeds.
So maybe not a Moller toy, but as far as flying it goes,
I'll wait for the film at 11.
Knowing the Tripoli guys (and gals) this is going to be a large-scale
model rocket. One flight, straight up, and see how high it gets.
Not a man-rated flying machine.
Sounds like fun.
Now that makes more sense.
