Be sure to post your "design".... Smile

I am sure we offer some "technical" insight!

Have fun! I have suspected there was more than just redbull in the drinks of the contestants.

I don't think that flying is the point. Anyway, there were supposedly 100,000 spectators at the Flugtag in Austin, TX a couple years ago. This thing is a big hit wherever they have it and I have been trying to get some friends to make a "flying" machine with me. I, of course, would pilot the craft!! Big thumbs up

I've seen on T.V. that many of the "flying machines" are 100% unflyable. Big grin

But I've also seen that among all those clowns there are at least two or three people that seriously designed a glider, and they actually flew (fell with style?) for several feet.

I was supposed to build a glider for Flugtag in Cleveland this year. I had all the suppliers lined up and my plans drawn out, then my 3 other partners backed out. I think I coulda won too Pissed

If God meant man to fly, He'd have given us bigger wallets.
