Great video, love the flying shots.

Hate to ask the first question that comes to my mind, but what's the point ?

Innovation and simply because you can...

Don't want to be a hater but the take-off roll seems very long for a micro light/ultra light.
Top speed might be higher for the lesser drag but T/O roll and rate of climb seem somewhat anemic or C150-ish.

displaced threshold at EGML is 180m and it was off the ground about where the markers are. not bad considering it was carrying 46ltrs and a 210lb pilot! i think the edited video makes it look longer.

oh and the point is FUN! LOL!
