    Guyz, could this be it?! The fulfilment of most of our childhood dreams of flight!
    No mater how you look at it this is Awesome!!!
    One of the cool things is that he is using brushless outruners and speed controllers to make it happen.
    I am not sure if its real or not, but I sure hope it is!

    They have one great crane operator :D
    I have to say it does remind me of the running on water hoax a little.
    Time will tell if it is real or fake

    Ok just found that this is a in fact a fake :D (disappointing) I still think the video is super cool and to some extent he captured in my option what it could be like
    I think the concept is there just needs someone with enough desire to make it happen.

    Sure would have been cool if it was real. Those wings of his were made from re purposed kites like the ones I fly when kiteboarding.

    I wondered about it. We were talking about it at work and the fluttering of the trailing edges just didn't look right to us.

    I thought that the wings were not filling up enough against the wind, but someone posted about that and he respond that it was because its really an airfoil and not just a kite type wing, but it did look suspicious :)
    Ahh well it was cool to watch and man it looks like fun!
