Once in awhile I'm really inspired by something really cool! This is one of those links. Thanks for sharing. I think every child (and adult) think about the ability to fly like a bird. I believe this is very close to that daydream...

I think these guys are SWISS. Electric Version on the Way. Just to prove the point that we honor cars, boats, bikes, scooters, Dragsters, AND Airplanes..! To all my flying friends: So light you can foot launch, and LAND, or use a big BUNGY Cord, or get toed into the sky by a car, or TESLA-S !, or an Ultralite airplane, or a Cesna 150. Can land on wheels, or just stick your feet out. ( http://player.vimeo.com/video/39325401 ) Don't know if this was the same glider... but.. But if you OVER STRESS the super lite,, THIS can happen ! ( http://www.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=19075 ) Some additional DATA at ( http://ruppert-composite.ch/ ) And INFO on their ELECTRIC model.. here Here is the English Translation: Depending on the battery size, the weight of the drive and its integration 20 ... 24 kg and enables see a rising output of about 2 m / According to the flexible, fast and easy-handling concept Archaeopteryx is also paid for the construction of the correct power to ski lifts on achieving a rapid assembly and disassembly capability of the drive components. So the sailors should suddenly become a electric gliders and can be re-converted back to the sailors. Only a few parts remain permanently installed in the aircraft, the remaining extra weight on the sailor is correspondingly low. The design of the special propeller and engine is perfectly matched and optimized in terms of performance the Archaeopteryx. The propeller vortex remains low performance under the tail and fold the leaves in soaring aerodynamically advantageous in the current run of the cockpit paneling. The drive to the new racing season back in the spring of 2013 to be ready. Price and delivery times are currently not known. Already interested in Archaeopteryx-electric?
