Very pretty. I wish them the best of luck.

The specs are ambitious. Odd that they don't list empty or gross
weight.


There's a picture in the gallery of a static test of the wings where it
claims that 500kg on each wing is equal to 2.5g.

That implies a weight of 400kg, which seems pretty crazy even as an
*empty* weight.
