    Simple, easy, compact, manoeuvrable and aerodynamic glider
    with integrated flaps. Just an ingenious human invention. It weighs only 64kg and can go at 30-130... Thanks Roger Ruppert, glad to see that.

    Looks like a lot of fun and easy to launch in light winds or stronger consistent winds. I imagine the ground handling practice is much less forgiving than a paraglider for a beginner. Thermal soaring would be amazing if it can pull a tight turn to stay in the core. The fuselage would also help prevent the water supply (and pilot) from freezing at high altitudes.

Npbody will be able to carry it up the hills in his backpack and nobody will use it as a serious glider on the gliderports because of its high price and low performance. What is the target group then?

    Funny thing! I wonder how I would use it? I live in a lowland. The nearest hills what are like 50 meters high are about 200 kms far away! How to get that thing up into the air if everthing around me is flat? Would jumping from the roof of my house be an option?

    Early 1945 at a flugplatz near Berlin... Gruppen Obest Kruger speaks: There are no more Me-109s or FW-190s left to defend the Riech. Now you new pilots will intercept the swarms of B-17s und B-24s with Der Volks-Birdie. Good hunting!

    Very cool. I personally cannot support the weight or run anymore. But i wish that i could. Be careful and enjoy.

    Is the rudder paired with the ailerons? I can see them flapping about together when they’re running
