Ray...well that was simple.....

This is just too cool not to post....the French music is a bit too much for my Southern Heritage but you won't be calling this Frog a sissy boy after you watch this...

The four JETS on the wings are from the Radio Control field......might just be something that Lou can do on his next RC day......

Incredible, it looks so stable. I would have thought that stalling out would be a big problem because there don't seem to be any control surfaces. He must use his feet as controls.
 
Pete, at one point you can see him drop his foot to stabilize I'm guessing. I'd imagine that would be the closest thing to being a bird. More than hang gliding I would reckon.

Sure Lee....I changed it.
 
using the wing.....maybe Lou can figure out how to put about a gazillion of those little prop motors on a wing and create a new product...THE LSB....(Large Scouting Bird)....be a little noisy I'd reckon...

Hemingway wrote some short stories about the French Alps. Now I see why I want to get over there some day. What an incredible landscape.
That friggin thing is cool. Even has a folding mec. to deploy and land. As they like to say up the road at Pratt and Whitney, With enough of a turbine we can make a brick fly.
Vertical climb capability should be interesting on the next one. Cool to see the two chase planes as well.

That was proven with F4! Big enough engines you can make anything fly!
 
Give the guy a shotgun and he could have some fun hunting ducks. Now the post is duck hunting related.

Way cool by the way. Wonder if the old "mile high club" will ever get wind of one of these things?
