Here is my version :-) that's a great pic. just from the tease point of view, as so much is left out of frame. I assume it is a balloon with a custom exit point on it? and you with the engines on your legs...how did they work? we are left to guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has a good glide, is fun (assertive) in flying, and has an actual flare where you dont need a surge or front risers to have a decent landing. And swoops nicely as well (though low, as it has a very fast recovery arc:) I couldn't be a bigger supporter/fan of the canopy if I tried. I think best advertising for the WinX is that (Atair) doesn't do any real advertising, and it's incredibly popular. Seeing practically no WinX for sale on the 2nd hand market, is a good indication people are happy with it. You silly goose, I have one, through you!!! lol. And I love it.

It is not a balloon, but rather powered parachute (aka paraplane), with shelf mounted on the side for convenient exit. 400N * 2 jet engines attached to snowboard boots. I had technical issues which prevented engines to start in flight. These will be resolved soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
