I'd have been impressed if he'd done this from a standing start but all he did was fall + a bit of help from the jets

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
How can you not be impressed?
This is brilliant stuff. Have you seen the vids of him?
The tech alone is impressive. Actually doing the flying is amazing.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

The physics of flight are fairly well understood and a small wing means he'd have to travel fast to stay up (say around 80 mph at a guess), which makes taking off and landing tricky and dangerous, especially on legs. It would be far easier to do with a larger wing, with a hanglider for instance. With a wing size he used, he'd either need to land in a wind tunnel, take along some roller skates (and hope he doesn't trip), or use a parachute. More impressive would be a take-off and landing, even if the distance travelled in-between were short. There is no reason it can't be done, it just needs someone foolhardy enough to try it, and a computer to control his flying wouldn't hurt either.Comment

I want one!
But with only 200Lbs of thrust, I'll have to leave my wallet behind
