yep, it can even rise on thermals without the engine on.
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
no engine sound, but the rotors makes noise
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
hey, so say the engines fails, can you land it safely? cause it looks to me like it can glide
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
for how long can it fly?
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
No sound engine !
is electricity cheaoer than gasoline ?
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Please visit our website for full videos with motor sound!

Rather than the music, can I hear what the motor + prop sound like?
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
sono d’accordo con te.

Perchè nessuno osa costruire un giocattolo di questo tipo in Italia? Sono convinto che sfonderebbe.

I just flew it from Moscow to Hawaii this past weekend straight through.
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
yeh shure, it takes forever for the solar panels to recharge the battery
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
i think if u use an hang glider wiht an lighter engine since u dontt nedd the frame and all that crap u could fly longer
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
haah so u can fly ove water nd pass ilegal borders huh
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I do it all the time. I flew to Houston for wrestlmania then went to Japan for their version of the world series. And from there it was on to Moscow to hunt for a Russian bride.
I am glad to see you have an interest in this and will further it.

wow i wanna buy one of these real soon so ill probably be taking this into conciseration but one quick question could these fly over large bodies of water like the gulf of mexico or to hawaii from california?
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
this looks powerful electric glider, can you fly 40 min with its non stop ?
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Looks fun !
I want to learn flying this !
How much time need to learn flying this glider ???
How cost this glider, gasoline?, electric powered ?

there are solar charging films that could be put on a sail, the problem is so much conflicting informaion about how efficient they are.
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
you may want to look for the FAA’s regulation called FAR103.
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I put solar panels on mine and it will fly forever now with no recharging.
I flew mine from Alaska all the way to NYC with no stops.
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
ok, thanks so much!
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
im not shure it probly depends on how many houses and if there are any tall buildings but im not shure
May 31st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
thank you very much, oh, and one more thing… im a little confused about airspace… if I were to fly around the residential area around my house, would I get in trouble?
