Archaeopteryx - Foot launched Glider

[Silent1]

Has anyone seen the videos of this?
I saw it in the youtube thread and had to look it up, here's the video:
Archaeopteryx Foot Launch

It looks absolutely amazing, the website is in swiss but there's a small section in english here:
A brief overview of the Archaeopteryx
and here's the google translation:

The only downside is that the basic model with nothing is £51,000 as it's all handmade in switzerland!

A fabulous transformation from looking ridiculous to immensely cool.

It should have a picture of Fred Flintstone on the side though.

Suspicious there's no footage of landing from altitude....

Not convinced this is such a good idea if the pilot loses his footing attempting takeoff- one destroyed, expensive glider!
