Here are a few shots of this bird. Please do not hang me if I misquote, but I remeber a blurb about it being 21 pounds wet. If anyone remembers more accurately please chime in. I have some of this bird in the air, but the video is the only thing that will do this thing justice. I may load up a few a little later.

Glad you and 3.0 made it home safe Jim. Nice flying with you yesterday. BTW I feel stupid. The right side tire only had 18 lbs in it. DOH!!!!!! scratch one tire.

OK. Here is a video of the Ralf Losemann's demo flight on Saturday. Biff's comentary is priceless. A small example of what an exemplary event this is. Note that this is in HD format which means you will need QuickTime 7 (free from Apple) or QuickTime Alternate (free from many sites - google "QuickTime Alternate") in order to view. The vid is the first one in the QuickTake section of my home page: http://higherplaneproductions.com Fly low. Roll tape. Fred |

Great video Fred but you left out the six foot takeoff to a snap roll. That was not his best hover either. He was more stable for a longer time on previous days. Todd |

None-the-less, that was a great flight demonstration. I hope I get to see it in person some day.
