Ok, that may be a stretch but how cool is this... http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/aerof ... -1.2642866 At 3 metres I think a get-off may go up a notch. Literally. I thought I saw someone post something like this here recently and thought it was a joke. Guess not. Think I'll wait and get a used one. Charles
You go first...I'll hold your beer. Its interesting that in the video that do not actually show the whole machine flying. I wonder why?
Not really suitable for single track, but it may be the only thing that will keep you safe in a Helliwell water-crossing. Seriously...the noise, the footprint of the vehicle, fuel efficiency. Try this instead...maybe with some solar panels you could stay up forever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L75ESD9PBOw Bruce
2 minutes with some calculations on the back of a napkin will prove this is not possible. It would take more power to lift the solar panel itself that what you would get from it. This is personal pet peeve of mine, people thinking that there is huge amounts of practical power available from the sun here on earth.
Those small propeller engines are very inefficient and very noisy. Using propellers especially small ones to LIFT a vehicle is a bad idea.
I haven't been able to see the videos at work. I'll have to check them tonight. And those are classic words: "Hold my beer...watch this!" Pretty sure this is the type of thing where the higher the version # the better...
Something about sitting in the middle of all those blades on the multicopter. That could go real bad real fast. I do like what looks to be an exercise ball as a landing pad. Now the Paramotor Skiing looks doable!
