@aego069

I know I have not found one either except indoors, I think its just really unstable in winds So there is no way they will do it outside with a bunch of people around.

It needs more gyro effect.

There's a lot of test trials videos but why can't I find a video of a real flight? Someone taking it to the limits or atleast taking it a coule of hundred feet into the air? If I was the pilot I would probably already taken it for a real spin!

@Dragonstud its actually a Martin Aircraft 2.0 L V4 2 stroke. No pulse jet there.

I can see this technology being used with four engines a larger fuel supply and a safety cage with a passenger compartment. That would be killer. As a jet pack its not that impressive but I could see good things coming out of it.

@joninwv or should I say an enclosed propeller. 

[joninwv]

@Dragonstud looks more like a turbine.

nice use of a pulse jet

it's cool, but not very impressive at the least. While yes the engines and the frame had to be engineered to be ultra light but still the engines needed a high power output, the fact tht they have to hold the thing and it never goes more than 6 feet from the ground kinda dumbs things down a bit.

looks pretty tame to me.

I'd like to buy it coz i wanna fly in the air without plane
