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

Bah, I'll show him how to take off from the ground...just let me get mine built up. So, uh, anybody have some spare jetpack parts laying around?

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!

Too bad you couldn't take off with that thing. That would be even better
