Now that's the sort of news we like to hear
So what's been happening that makes it an interest in 2015

Oh and a happy new year to you Larry


Hello George,

I just ran across an article in the November 2014 issue of Scientific American
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/atlas-helicopter-watch-the-record-setting-flight-of-atlas-the-human-powered-helicopter/
detailing the remarkable accomplishments of Reichaert and Robertson.

Did you view the videos?

All the best to you in the coming year.

I loved the low energy crashes in the video.
Thats about the last challenge for a man powered machine isn't it?
