Its worth a look, especially for carbon fans, make sure you watch AFTER the credits.

The Windage of that thing must be insane.

There is a website too, I would rather have the windage from the carbon poles then the structure if there is no need for it. Wonder what it weighs? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> http://www2.jundt.ch/blog/

interesting concept - but I can't imagine that they couldn't build a moth-type structure with less weight. They went nuts with the carbon tubing.

Isn't it ironic that the video is shown on 'You Tube'

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the video: It's like a BIG moth, but with a lot more weight and windage.

Looks like floats are only good for take off. Landing is game over.
