| "I'm an Airline pilot with 25 years Airline experience, 7 years Air Force experience, 8 years kiteboarding experience and a background in aeronautical engineering. It's a fake. Just look at the wings. They're not showing load at any time. The fabric from the old kiteboarding kite—that's what the wings are made of—never loads up. If the wings were producing lift, the fabric would be tight, it would look like it was inflated. It never does. There are other signs too, but it doesn't matter. Since the wings aren't loaded, they aren't producing lift. Not even the glide is real. It isn't a matter of opinion. It's simple fact. If the wings aren't producing lift, this has to be a fake. Period. If the wings were producing lift, they would show that they were under load. They never show a load, so they never produce lift." |

| FAKE! Just look at time starting 1:07 on the second video, they couldn't even get the rotation right. The wings would be flapping backwards causing negative lift. Pretty elaborate mechanism though. BTW, doesn't the guy look like the super slide guy? |

Never shows rotation, lift off and climb in the video. Being a retired airline pilot and hanglider pilot I can't imagine anyone having the power/muscles to generate enough thrust to takeoff from a flat field! Good advertising for Slingshot though!

| Man, are you guys ever late to the party... this was debunked, and then revealed by the supposed "inventor" as a complete hoax over a year ago! |
