I thought this flight was done yesterday?

Either way - it is disturbingly impressive and as Fred says - the guy has some serious goolies to do this.

Well, he'd need a fair sized scrote to slow him down; stapled the old elbow skin to each knee he did.

But yeah, I think most guys around my age would love to have a go at that, i might need a significantly larger wingspan and a couple of Rolls Royce jets to keep me in the air like.

...is anyone else thinking about M.A.S.K. ?


cool vid.

Maybe the guy has done more than one flight?

Cool video, I reckon I can beat it without all the all the gizmos. I am testing a combination of Guiness's hangover induced flatulence and a hearty baked beans breakfast. So far I have achieved a fairly sore arse and a cracked floor tile, but I think i am on the right track.

JCM, your mistake is with the guiness. Solid fuel boosters are not so effective!!

[ResistNewWorldOrder]

You've got to start eating the beans when you start your 3rd pint.

Go with the Curry version, bit more liquid that solid

[Idorsearogele]

Gödel's incompleteness theorems

the wikipedia statement isnt exactly accurate but its fair enough...

[Hodstcopter]

Tried to give both of you gents +rep for making my eyes water - mostly from laughing

Edit: Very cool toy, indeed! I wonder when they'll start arriving at Toys R Us?

I think that should be the new Wikipedia Motto!

[IronpumpedLady]

Pretty cool!

Now only if he wore a McNinjer suit....

[Amorsesombabs]

Wesley, Jo and Sparky. Thanks for the great advice, I had a curry last night and this morning I lifted an inch and a half and hovered in the air for five seconds while having breakfast (the dog yelped too). I am off to Spain in a few ours, I will try a good cocido and update you on the results

EDIT: I still havent fixed the sore arse bit, seems to be a bug in the thruster system

[fygESytT]

Just as an aside, on the BBC page of the flight, below is a link to what can only be described as Naked Ugg Boot Ram Raid the mind truly, truly boggles ....

Depending on the particular design . . . you could try vectored thrust to minimize excessive stress. Don't know what muscles you'd need to develop, though . . . or even how you'd train them

Some sort of articulating . . . ummm . . . orifice. Like this.
