Hi Eric,

yes, of course. I saw that thing and thought, hmmm... who the hell is supposed to fly something like this / did design it / and (the most important question) who for god´s sake will pay 5900 euro ???

Marcus Pohlus (Steadicam op of Oliver Twist, Pianist etc.) once fully extended the arm of the rig I was wearing to show me how the middle hinge flexes under load.
I feared that my back was going to break into two, fortunately it didn´t happen, but THAT was painful.
But I think the pain THIS thing will cause will be unbelievable.

when i was small my mother was very strict against playing with guns (like children swords or guns made of plastic etc.), so for mardi gras / carnival i wanted to have a knights costume and the comprise we settled after an heavy argument was the following: i could have a knights costume, but she will handcraft it from cardboard ... to make a long story short: the costume looked ridiculous, the cardboard sword failed in the first minute of fight with the other children (who had "real" swords made of plastic) ...

i don't know, why i had to think of this childhood episode, when i looked at the website of SALIX

Yeah, quite farstretched... ( just kidding, Martinnoweck ). Some parts of this rig looks...a bit...oversized...to say it in a descent way.

About your carnival-costume, you´ve been lucky it didn´t rain and storm like it does now here in Berlin, that´d be a bit crasser.

It just looks heavy but actually only weighs 2.2 lbs (1 kilo) because it's made from Rearden metal.

Chuck, of course it is...
And it´s powered by a next gen flux capacitor.

Got 'nuthin to offer, except that I pretty much respond to any post on any forum that mentions Rearden Metal...
