I didn't know they made small turbines for RC planes. Pretty cool stuff. Thanks,

And they have REAL turbine prices...about the same as a good used car :eek:

Here's a site full of pictures of the flying man:

The shot over the field is pretty neat, looks like something jungle might shoot.

now THAT's cool

If you look at a few of the other videos, you'll see one where he goes into an unintentional spin and has to bail...the whole thing is trippy, and pretty awesome. I'd love to see if he improves it to the point of being able to take off from the ground...

Personally, I would not fly that thing below the hard-deck for safe parachute deployment...I bet a take-off engine-out would be 100% fatal.

Also I doubt you could run fast enough to get that wing to fly...you'd need a wheeled platform arrangement of some sort.
