That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! The fuel must be in the wings, but where are the gauges?

Another site I hang around at, they said it was at the Experimental Aircraft Show in Oshkosh,Wis. last year.(2006)

They said he stole the show big time!
The limitations are only 5 minutes fly time.

It's almost like the jetpack NASA had years ago.

Probably by trailing edge flaps on the wings, maybe controlled by something hand-held...

Wow, that's just incredible!
