Has anyone actually seen one? The design seems to offer some interesting features, but it looks as if Aeriane only sold two or three.

Mellenium was a follow on to the Swift. Nearly the same performance and easier to transport. I have flown one and know of a damaged one if you are looking for a project to repair. I would take the Mellenium over the Swift. I can also offer a Mitchel B-10 for sale.
Hi there. Can you pass on any more info about the damaged Swift?Quote:
