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.

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

So it actually has worked and been tried?

What if they add a lawn mower engine to it?
