They are doing this all wrong. the take off needs to be a huge ramps for more speed, the water seems it needs to be deeper the launch higher and the carts with the wheels are dangerous they need to be tethered so they don't crash on top of the pilots or when the pilots crash onto the carts. Nobody wants a broken back!

FlightTest should know a biplane is a waste of wing, double the wing equals only 20% more lift. Had they went with a monoplane wing with the same weight/materials they would have had quite a bit more lift.

The wind was hurting the event more than it seems. I’m the flite test video you see them explain that the tailwind was wrapping around the underside of the platform, which made it pretty much impossible to get any lift. You can see this in almost all of the contraptions, as the flights were suspiciously similar in distance and control
