This flying "grain silo" which is 9 meters in diameter and about as high as a 15 story building was launched about half of a day ago. It was not flying straight because it's single engine is mounted off center (mounting intended for 3 engines). |
| Gyro:
Impressive. Wide enough aspect ratio not to need legs! A nasty looking fire around the engine from about 35s in the first video. |

| Gyro:
Ha yes, I didn't notice them deploy - I was too busy watching the engine. I'd been thinking they looked more like scaffolding feet. |

This would make moving house so much easier. |
