Perfect for the pilot that is afraid of heights!
Only 3 hp?! Unbellivable! Congratulation!
Like the bird, the plane is absurdly adorable!
Great commentary, Tim! Especially the "that'll be enough of that" comment :-)
That was well worth seeing. No need for a parachute,you just jump out and hope for the best. ha ha. Thank you for showing me
Wow, 3hp and it's off the ground. Meanwhile, in the foreground, sits the beautiful 460hp DH.88 Comet Grosvenor House.
Raw, savage horsepower!! Not unlike hamsters in a wheel.
The pilot took a dumb after the first run. That 2 lbs. made all the difference! :)
If that thing was given a strong, lightweight electric motor it would have much better performance.
U do it now..Wont cost more than 5k $
did they tried with a 2 horsepower engine???
How many "D" cell batterys to power that?
Cool little thing. Weighs less than my motorbike.
Ah hah! But do you have 404cc AND 8 hp?? Well do you?? I'll bet you don't! ;¬)
390 cc and only 3 horse power, sounds like a thousand hour between rebuilds.
If you dyno that engine I think you might even find the actual power is even less than 3hp...
