Much preferred the design of the original Gamera engine unit...much more aesthetically pleasing

what they need to do is hook up a ruddy great chainsaw motor to the drive chain to get it working properly...

preferably running castrol R in the fuel mix so it smells right

or even much more gooderer, one of Chooks pulsejets on each rotor tip.

Hi guys,
Just on the subject of man powered aircraft..........
One of my Dad's friends son's (Lynn Jervis) built a man powered aircraft for his University project. Yes it did fly although I don't have a picture.
Dad built a trailer for it & some years later Lynn gave the trailer to me for a project I was building & I modified it & used it.
That is the history of Vindicators trailer, which most of you have probably seen.
