Good music too! Thank you. Yes we at the chance to roll freely in France, which is not the case for the Switzerland. @MaxLinux We have all types of electric vehicles. I organize rallies in different cities in France. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasenutty Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I kinda want to try it. I feel like the lower the pedals are, the easier it'd be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you hit on a good idea, very low pedals, just enough slope to get moving, would be pretty safe. Now, how do we turn that into money? It would almost be like a stand up slip and slide.

I played it as safe as I could (test runs for bumps, no running in front of the car at speed, etc). Insurance is really up to producers, luckily most (if not all) shoots have a $1-2 Mil damage insurance. If this is considered a stunt they'd have to pay a bit extra, but not too bad. Of course Bolt's Achilles heel is worth much much more :-S Edited May 31, 2017 by noisycarlos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SuperSport Posted May 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2017 That was fun to watch. I'm a fan of all types of flying, but have never piloted a copter. Been passenger a number of times. That's on my bucket list for sure. First though, I'm going to take on Powered Paragliding. I think that's going to be my favorite, and it's really affordable to own your own craft. My brother and I will be flying together. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not need any license or training, which is absolutely CRAZY! Although, I would HIGHLY recommend against buying one and just going flying. I've flown Hang Glider and Ultralight, and there's a lot you should know before going up. Weather, Terrain, Air Space Restrictions, etc... An unexpected down draft or other weather issue can become a very bad day, so you need to know if they are likely going to be around, and how to deal with them if it simply happens.

I would absolutely love trying to fly one of those, but think my natural cowardice would keep me from doing it. Looks like enormous fun though.

You can even play the chirping bird sounds you love so much when riding in the park. If you are going to add a sound to your wheel it's got to be a Merlin engine surely, that will really get the pedestrians attention: And if you want it loud, sound systems for electric model aircraft are available, fairly light they need to produce a lot of volume to be audible at all in the air: http://www.modelsoundsinc.com/index.php Edited May 31, 2017 by Keith 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Robinson R22 is a great training chopper! Just like learning to ride an EUC everything will begin to click in time as you coordinate your smooth movements between the cyclic, collective and pedal controls! Be sure to take some video as you learn to hover! Edited May 31, 2017 by Rehab1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great plane, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
