    I'd be too much of a chicken to ever try that. ;)

    I haven't seen any reason to think this is fake.. Here's more information about it and the jetpacks:

    It seems plausible, at least.. Since hang-gliders exist, I don't see why a winged jetpack wouldn't work.

    So is this BBS down for good? Last tweet was on Nov 13, 2014:

    "x-bit bbs will be down for an extended period of time as i work on obtaining some new hardware for the system."

    Thanks for link Nightfox. At first I thought it was fake but after viewing more videos it's the real deal. Amazing stuff. He makes it look easy but I'll bet there's more to it than meets the eye. Can you imagine every hobbiest in the world owning and flying one of these? ACK! Instead of hitting birds in flight we'd need to worry about hitting one of these guys. SPLAT! ;-)
