I've been thinking alot about the skyray (solid wing attachment). Being a pilot, I can see the appeal of this lovely wing, it's the perfect hybred between skydiving and flying a HP aircraft. I've been wondering what it would be like to add a propulsion systme wich would alow sustained flight... I realize this is a step away from the "skydiving" but c'mon! would it not be cool? They say this thing is about 3 times faster (horizontally) than the skyflyer! Anyway, check out the links... the second is a mini-jet project (this guy is pure genius!!!). He's manufacturing 100lbs thrust pulse jet's at 8lbs a piece! Some modifications would have to be made of course but I'm positive this Thread will lead to terrifick convo... so, Let's have it
