Hi BigWarpGuy

Yes, an interesting aircraft... I wonder if it can be flown solo or whether it would need a passenger in the other cockpit to balance the load?  :-)

Out of interest: Part way down the webpage http://www.gizmag.com/green-flight-challenge-winner/20060/ I see there is meant to be a video. Here all I see is a black rectangle - no video and no indication of video type. What do you see?

Regards
