flyingman 3 Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Grumpy Owl Do you have any evidence for this claim of 'it really works'? It was back 28 years ago when I was 10 that I created this flying machine. I flew once about 15km with it and left it in the field I landed in. I have not built one since. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
