Great, but aren't you afraid someone will see you flying it?

Hehe... I think I'll lay off that idea. I'd sure like
to have those engines he has to play with tho. That
could be some fun mounted on a surfboard.

(video doesn't work for me).

I noticed earlier that with the bird-man flying suits published L/D, and
two small jet engines, you'd have enough thrust for a fairly rapid
climb, and 20 min of flight.
Fueltank in backpack, couple of handles on the engines, and you've even
got thrust vectoring.

Imagine those two little jet engines and Felix Baumgartners carbon fiber
wing, oh.... the possibilities.

Apparently you have a low opinion.

ROFL!

Some day you will comprehend the difference between what is
theoretically possible in a computer animation and what a sane person
would want to risk his life doing in the real, practical world, and you
also will laugh at such things.
