Craig,

Thanks, right now I plan to have sort of a log on its Kickstarter page, at least for the 1/4 scale vLazair.

Cool concept. There are a couple things I can see to worry about. It would seem like transitioning from horizontal to vertical landing would involve a risk that the pilot not make it all the way down to the parked position before his 3-4 minute battery life expires.

The other thing that looks worrisome is vulnerability to ground wind in the vertical standing position.

Dale will be pleased to know that the upcoming Nephi nationals does require PowerFlarm. Hopefully that trend will continue.
