The more I think about this, the more I don't believe it's real. Not only does it seem physically impossible, but I don't know how you'd be able to put an adult male in the air for 20 minutes with only 2 small tanks of kerosene.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

The videos of this thing in action that aren't ultra-produced and are more home video type look fake as hell, like how George Lucas was making hovercrafts look like they were floating back in the late 70's.

I knew about the supposed re-fueling, that's why I mentioned that there's no way that an adult male is being suspended in air for 20 minutes off of 2 tiny tanks of kerosene.

Not buying it.
