A manned copter is being constructed.

[Ihor Nastashchuk]

The construction of the manned Copter FlyingBike continues.

The FlyingBike will be a double copter with a take-off weight of 460 kg, with a payload of 190 kg, a twin-engine (with internal combustion engines), four electronically controlled variable pitch propellers, an electronic flight stabilization system and a parachute rescue system designed for full takeoff weight.

The main advantages of this project are:

- perfect ease of control, which does not require long training and is available to almost everyone (who, for example, can manage a radio-controlled drones);

- significant autonomy, flight range of about 300 km.

Nice. Can't wait to see it fly. I really like how you guys are approaching things, keeping things, minimalistic, and using what you have available to you.

I don't have a lot of spare cash at the moment, but I donated $10 to your indiegogo fund. Good luck raising the money for the parachute system and other items you need.

I realize English isn't your first language, but I think it will really help your cause if you go through your indiegogo page and fix the spelling issues (like backer where it says baker).

You're welcome. I'm sure it will help getting more backers to sign up.

Optimism is the fuel for innovation. Keep up the interesting work, looking forward to your team's progress.
