I think that no matter how big an engine you put on a piece of plywood,

will not fly very well.

He's damn lucky all he broke was his heel.

It all is in the power to weight ratio, AND the weight to wing area, and
to
a degree the aspect ratio.

Of course, there are helicopters, too.

Your friend's problem was that he did not have ANY engine! g

This reminds me that a friend, who is an Air Force veteran, told me that
helicopters can not actually fly--they are just so damned ugly that the
earth repels them!

That's his story and he's stickin' to it.
