    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

    Wow! Not just fun but I could see this being developed for use in agriculture, forestry, mountain rescue etc.

      I was about to revisit Mark II’s suspension when I noticed it has no engine and relatively small batteries. So it must be very light and I wonder what its range is? None of the shots is more than a few seconds. I am not saying that was done to deceive but it reminds me of that American jet pack in the 60’s. It looked amazing until it was discovered that the film had be made up of a number “flights” of a few seconds duration. Still don’t cha just want Swincar to be scalable. Paul
