how do they land that thing? Do they depend on the strength of the wind or what?

Hi there lollipoopmonster
DeleteThey land like a normal plane, into wind with a bit of flap to slow down. The millenium can be landed on foot...ie the guy pops his legs out the bottom and then runs to a stop
how do they manipulate the wings? isn't the wings too heavy for their arms? I doubt if i'll try it, I won;t make it out alive. HAHA!
ReplyDeleteIf there's a bit of head wind then the wing is already lifting before they even start running...like all these things, a bit of training is the key!
