I didn't see no engine or gas tank.

How is that prop spinning?

And Robbie I know it says glider, but if it has a prop it's NOT A
GLIDER.

It has a rotating part that does not glide it rotates, so is it
pedalled? Is pedalled supposed to have two Ls I forgot?

It's a gyro HANG glider and IIRC, it was only ever towed into the
air...

More precisely, the gyro hang glider as depicted is nothing more than
a tubular light aircraft frame on which to "hang on to" with an
unpowered rotor up top. It looks dangerous when not comical... but I
do not think anyone would laugh if someone died flying that
contraption.

Rob-
So it actually has worked and been tried?

What if they add a lawn mower engine to it?

That is exactly what it is perfect for. There is no reason these
should not be marketed and used.
