I'm not qualified to do the math, but the forces required to lift a 150lbs man off the ground are much greater than human chest muscles can provide.

Burn the fire.

That's pretty B-A!
Great way to build up stamina/endurance and get to work.

No doubt... Furthermore, who in their right mind would fly the damn thing a hundred feet in the air on the maiden flight. "Ooops, this thing is trickier to fly than I thought... AAAAAAHHH... SPLAT!" (followed by the GoPro footage being posted on some Darwin Award website)

Its lacking the next important control... the stabilization and control provided by tail feathers

I don't think a human could flap to flight if one butt muscle was chest muscle and legs were arms...maybe if a fella cut off his legs on top of the above...maybe.

Based on my rough calculations, that man had the same average air speed velocity of a laden swallow.

Unladen vs. laden is quite a different calculation, especially if laden with a large, round object below. Changes the entire airflow.
