Jetpack

Jetpack - These are plans to make a homemade ducted fan jetpack similar to the one on futurehorizons.net. The plans give a lot of nice ideas, but I would recommend buying the components like the turbine blades and having a lightweight metal frame instead of wood. But for reference it's a good document to get started with.

Airbike Prototype - My favorite vtol craft is called the Airbike, and it's only a concept right now, so I'm taking the first steps into resurrecting this dead idea. I'm using a small model gas engine. Also the AMV aircraft adds a lot to this design.
