Hey...this sounds GREAT!

Ananova - Rocketman takes to the skies:

Other than that whole "jump from a moving plane" bit...

I have to jump from a moving plane as I can't really take off from an airfield like a real plane, I couldn't run that fast', he said laughing, and added: 'I don't have an undercarriage either.

[...]

After I jumped my wings opened like a bird taking wing, I then glided down to 2500m, and ignited the kerosene engines.

There was a short period, 30 seconds, while I waited for them to stabilize and then I began to open the throttle.

Just a short 30 second period waiting for stabilization? THIS looks ready for the commercial market!
