Not quite what many of the Never Ending Story devaites think is normal, this could have a few of them peddle in in another direction. NOT MANY, but maybe just a few.

Do you have to house and feed the guy turning the fan or does he go home at night?

There is already a thread on 'Flying Bikes' guys. Please try not to duplicate. Makes for confusement amongst us oldies.

Sorry Doug, was hoping that we could fly together in formation to collect out pensions, or, maybe others might possibly have been interested.

That reminds me of 2 things:

 

1. My uncle was in the air force and he got me one of those small pilot parachutes that would pull the main chute used for stopping the plane on the ground.

 

Something like this:

 

 

What we would do as kids, was attach it to a pushbike and compete who can ride the longest before stopping with that chute dragged behind.

 

2. My friend had a neighbor who would use that sort of engine and prop to ski uphill in winter.

Looks like the ride has made him... er... airsick...
