    Nice looking new concept. It would be great to learn about the payload and speeds. What a great idea for passenger/general aviation aircraft.

      Thank you and please visit plimp.com for specs. We are estimated to carry a 15lb payload for 30 minutes and a 5 pound payload for two hours. See http://www.plimp.com and find specs, like we’re 28 feet long under 55 lbs.

      Also see http://www.plimp.com/videos for more angles and illustrations of this unique safe aircraft.
