Awsome video.... talk about living life to the ultimate
 I've been at that airway in Bex, Switzerland and driving by it so times it brings back a ton of memories. I would sign up for a ride in a heart beat. How much to you guys figure one of these would sell for??? $100,000 ??? where would one find these little turbine motors?? |

HOFCUKINGLYCOWWOW!!! Thanks!!! - what's the great full screen videa format that this is in (I'm not a geek, only respect and admire them)?
Saw this guy on TV a while back - if memory serves an English Channel crossing maybe or future plans to do so? Must make hang gliding/skydiving seem like riding a merry-go-round ride in comparison.

Don't want to rain on any parades, but I believe this video has been debunked. There was a thread about the vid on OT some time ago.
They do make model jet motors for RC planes and such....

Check out the P200 model. only 45 lbs of thrust. I guess 4 of them and a wing would work alright. Don't hurt yourself.
