Young kid builds and flies best Magnus Effect plane

70cc twin V2
I was quite amazed by this. I had never seen or even heard of a Magnus Effect plane until Finley showed up with what looked like an upside down lawn mower. He's a very articulate kid and talked me through the physics of how this thing works. It doesn't just work...it flies really well...and he built it totally from scratch. Quite looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next.

Its great to see this young man doing somthing like this most of these kids today are just jackasses my nefew is an aeronautical engineering student and they are in such demand that he is already working for a company making over 20$ an hour and his room and board while he is going to school because there are so few people in this field
