Very good this video.

All of this information is on the website that is linked right on the video description.

Just for the sake of the people here, What is the costs for the items that your flying with in this video, if you don’t mind the question.
Just from this vid I see what you were talking about with the Emotion wing, are there Colour options? Thanks!

Oh wow, I just noticed even the little WAVES sloshing on shore are louder than the motor full throttle in the death spiral. That is one seriously quiet unit. No wonder it wins all the sound comparisons.

Wow that unit is quiet, listen how the WIND is louder than the motor when it is even 20 feet away. Even the gravel shuffling under the feet of the camera person is lounder then the motor. How do you get a motor that quiet flying at full throttle with a SMALL glider???

Pick a different sport then because the Flat Top is the quietest unit on the market. It WON the noise test with a Db meter. You can even hear the children playing in the background above the sound of the motor.

As compared to what???? I was at a fly in the other weekend and it was a hell of a lot quieter than anything that was there. It was somewhat close to a FB that was there and you can’t even compare it to the noise level of the Blackhawk’s.
My instructor was saying the same thing about how quiet the motor was…
Just curious to know what you find to be less noisy than this? Electric?
September 16th, 2008 @11:03 am
Great skill. Flat Top is a little too noisy for my liking… be safe

superb demo of full control in safe conditions.
I think that for the second part of the vidéo it helps to have a nice strong and steady wind of 10-15k to remain stable over a stationnary object.
I have seen most of your vids and really appreciate your control of the wing and motor.

Both fine sir but mostly you. You just got hooked up with the wrong people and haven’t had the chance to start from the pool of knowledge & skills which is the USHPA. Free yourself from the USPPA which is the force of all evil and convert to the good side of the force:). Come out anytime and I’ll be happy to work with you.

You are truly a master!! Great video! What state are you in? Do you do any exhibition flights?

No problem anytime man. Too cool, thanks for letting me try it out.
September 16th, 2008 @11:03 am

Thanks for testing it out for me Dell. Awesome flight.

If you get a glider THAT awesome you feel totally confident the second you get in the air. I felt at home immediately. You certainly wouldn’t see me doing that on a piece of crap glider.
September 16th, 2008 @11:03 am
cool video
September 16th, 2008 @11:03 am
doing those spirals on a test flight of a new wing , you are super…
