He tried to break the record here is Aus a few years back and joined this forum at the time.
In his words he sails "on the edge of control"

Errrr, any other extreme wind powered sportsters here had their hero reach that kind of speed?
Worth a bit of cred me tink.
If you got to a site called Popeye the Welders Gaff
This guy is the keeper of all land speed records involving Kite Buggies
There are lots of Aussie records there
A few of the locals were a bit miffed that he didnt have a go at bumping his record up, as the conditions were ideal. The Iron duck crew kept at it for days after breaking the recordand wiggled the record up each time.
But maybe the locals wern't out there browning their trousers on each run![]()
