RE: Why does it fly?
SHOE
From what I saw it wasn't ungainly, quite nimble in fact, - but it does look a little ungainly, the deep front fuselage I think is just to keep the prop off the ground so he doesn't have to use an undercarriage!
PAUL,
He did say something about it flying in a stalled condition (when flying slow I guess) and it was using a vortex to keep it in the air, rather than a lot of power, - guess I didn't fully understand what he was driving at!
