Saw this on the super cub site. Pretty neat, but talk was that it's hand built and close to 100K.

Very nice! I love the slingshot launch and the legs-down landing. Thank you for sharing this.

Re: OT - Glider
In addition to our 170B, I also fly gliders and hang gliders. The Archaeopteryx has caught all soaring pilot's attention -and imagination!
Haven't seen one over here in the U.S. yet, though. Brian Porter pioneered a similar aircraft years ago, called the Swift. It's another beautiful ultralight sailplane, capable of working microlift and of being foot-launched.
Flying gliders may have helped me be a better power pilot. Time will tell, eh?
