First Madflights with the MadSwissFish

MadSwissFish – First Madflights from surfimp on Vimeo.

I built a new Le Fish, this time using the ultralightweight techniques pioneered by my friend Swiss Peter combined with a Madslide-style all moving tail. It built to 16.5oz (470g) and was maidened at yesterday’s inaugural American VTPR event at Temple Hill. It was a bit too light for the conditions but over the course of the day I was able to get the Madflight performance working pretty well. This video shows a “Kulbuto” as well as three backflips.
