That Eagle is one badass looking machine! Everybody can keep the gocarts with wings that look like kites I used to fly as a kid. |

You need to have an aerobatic endorsement ideally to fly this, and be proficient. And it's probably thousands of hours to build, as opposed to probably less than 100 for the Quicksilver. |

How about a gokart with a parachute and fan? https://www.easyflight.com/ You could have been in the air five years ago with one of these. |

One time I was flying over a lake and saw one just pootling along a few hundred feet above the trees. And I thought 'now THAT'S flying'. And if something goes wrong, you've already got a parachute 😃 Mind you, you are very limited in what you can do. Same with the Quicksilver. Best for crack of dawn, or late afternoon when the air is more likely to be calm. And no passenger. |
