That thing looks like it will be on a future World's Funniest Moments television bit. I don't think you could pay me enough to try to fly that deathtrap. At least, not on camera! :D

Looks like it would make a good Aflac commercial.

Of course it stands a better chance of getting you off the ground than anything I have ever built.

Mine will have a lot more PVC in it and be sponsored by Duck Tape. :D

I wanna try. No seriously I weigh probably twice what that whole contraption does. I did see a human powered plane on TV once though. It actually worked. I believe they where trying for a channel crossing? That thing looks worse than one of those hobby helos. If I had the money, I'd buy it and attempt to jump the snake river canyon. :D
