Default Jet-Man :)

Yves Rossy (Jet-Man) will attempt to cross the channel today. He's strapped himself to a carbon fibre wing and bolted 4 JetCat turbines to it. Then he'll jump out of a plane and head toward Dover. It flys realy well, considering he has no flight controls other than throttle and weight transfer! Could well be a damp french-man later today
