Does anyone think this would work without a tow vehicle? If he started to lose airspeed does he possibly have the weight to get speed back? I know that a gyro can kite or even hover with proper wind but they also have enough weight that if airspeed is lost they can regain it by no seing down but I dont think this contraption could do that.
