The Diana 2 has an 8.16m.sq wing, so entirely possible that this 'JS1R' is only 8m.sq
Sounds like a bullet to me! WPP On Tue, May 10, 2016 at 7:05 PM -0700, "Bob Dircks" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: maybe...... it certainly looks like a joke!

By my basic maths that means the aspect ratio is.......... um.... its gotta be 64 divide by 8........ no, that's not right, Pi times diameter divide by the circumference........ Yeah that's it........ equals 1 !

Perhaps it's going to be of limited production like the Diana 2, set up for record flying on perfect days!?
