I dunno, but i doubt it would get certification under either...Reckon it falls in the "stuff that" catagory..

He'd get certified alright .... I think it's called a Section 24 under the Mental Health Act .;)

A hundred years ago, the naysayers were probably making similar comments about the efforts of a pair of crazy brothers in Indiana. I for one, applaud this guy, and people like him, for without them there would be no flight, or spece travel etc. Its only by pushing boundries that progress is made.

Good onya Baph'

Function.

 

Seems to work pretty well, actually. Don't see how he got the contra-props to cancell each other out so equally, Maybe the little rudder tilts to adjust. Nev..

Ha ha ha 'Twas funny Dave. I love the powered parachute guy in the background. Look at him standing there thinking 'What the'?

Likely being less than 70kg empty it probably falls under the Nanolight category, hence requires no rego. Probably adviseable to have a HPL through.

 

 

[Guest Redair]

Do you think that as a child, he had one of those hats with a propeller on the top?

 

I think it's neat. Oh dear, now I'll have the men in white coats after me.

[eyecast]

Looks unreasonable.

 

Reasonable people do what is proven, tested & safe.

 

Unreasonable people change the world.:rotary:

Yes, people think flying ultralights is dangerous yet driving on the highway, mirror length apart in opposite directions and combined speeds is safe? Hmmmm....

I've gotta have one. I pay out 18 bucks for a haircut every couple of weeks, so it could prove to be an investment.

 

A few moths ago I went to a fancy dress ball wearing a scratch-built helli-hat complete with spinning rotors, flashing led's (controlled by a modified torch in my pocket) and a pair of vintage RAF Mk 9 flying goggles, but had to jump to get off the ground.

 

Try not to visualise this, or you may get wet pants.

 

Maybe this machine was designed by another "nutter" like me!!!

nutter nail cutter

just adding to your money saving devices the gadget in the photo will save you from buying nail cutters every few years. the only thing you gotta be carefull is not to advance your feet too far backwards because some people have found out that it is not just a nail cutter but toe cutter and foot blender as well.....

 

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Or you can have the best of both worlds. Moustache trimmer and hair cutter in one.

Looks like you either get a sense of humor, or a certificare of insanity if you hang around at The Oaks too much:big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

 

 

[newairly]

What happens when the engine stops? I don't think it would control too well under autorotation.

Also Im guessing its not a four stroke.....

Hey, I resemble that remark

But seriously, there are a few of these things about, and eventually someone will beat me to combining the contra-prop power-plant, the weight shift / active control system, and a form of winged lift to create something I started to design about 5 years ago that I was going to call the 'POGO-LITE'

 

Think about it.......;)
