Hellooo! How are you? ^^

Lore


There was a humble man that had only one dream, to conquer the skies, but he couldn't afford a course. With his old Beetle, he adapted the engine, the headlights, and most of the metal from the Beetle to make a small one-person glider. The Beetle's small engine moves the wheels, and he takes off with this momentum and glides. He can glide up to 1.86 miles at a constant speed of 88 mph. It can withstand various terrains well and weighs only 1449lbs.

In order to get to max speed, pitch down and keep the wheels on the ground so it can reach his max speed!

Have fun :)
