Dynamic gliding is cool but you can't get anywhere going in circles.

Weight limit at Shannon is actually 6 lbs (96oz).

As far as speed limit goes..we have three classes, "my, that's nice",,,"wow, that moves smartly", and
"good grief, can you still see it..!"

Aren't there a 4th and 5th speed? As in "thunk" and "Duck!!" ?

The rumour speculation mill in the US suggests that speeds of over 75 mph will be made illegal by the FAA and that Turbine powered will be outright banned!

Ain't paranoia a great thing?
