It is hard to convince oneself that this is substantially different from a glider.
Neither is a human powered ultra light weight, huge aircraft like the gossamer albatross. If you have a very weak engine it needs to be made out of incredibly light materials, and even so light it must be flown indoors with zero wind.
Greatest since the Wright bro's, sure...
