How about I get you a set of those water wings, you can blow those up before you launch. _________________ See ya up there!
First flight 6/72-free flight standard 17'. free flight Sierra, 1,2,& 3. wills wing swallowtail, quicksilver 3, icaro relax, wills wing U2, h4 then back to h4 now. with my head in the clouds.
I'm sure it handles just like my inflatable kayak does.
Also as you change altitude - i.e. launch from a mountain and land at a lower elevation - the air used to inflate the thing will be subject to different pressure (as well as if you have a leak). You're going to be landing in a squishy airframe, might as well fly one of those blow up pool ducks. _________________ Mountains always have the right of way.
If you've never forgotten anything in your life, you don't need to do a hook-in check.
You're going to die anyway so you might as well fly.

They have internal fans with scoops so no worries about losing air pressure with changes of altitude. _________________ Paul H

I also don't think anyone flies them over wide altitude ranges. They're for goofing around on ski slopes and flatland motoring. _________________ H4 + various skills (only foot-launch so far)

Actually, from the videos I've seen, it flies pretty good (relatively speaking). That's a wing you could pack up a mountain and then fly off and it still beats a pg, plus it might actually absorb some turbulence given it's makeup. _________________ Freedom 170 FR
Not quite bottomless, it has side wires and bracing for the control frame. _________________ Paul H

The videos make it look like it flys well. Because of it's relatively flat leading age, I wonder about the roll and yaw stability in more challenging conditions. _________________ Mountains always have the right of way.
