It didn't look like the one in the photograph. I'll check archive.org again. The article mentioned a tail rotor. At least he got that right. A big propeller instead of the corkscrew might have worked. Did he mention how he'd steer it? I saw the machine that hops…. does it eventually turn over and catch fire?

I tried to find a vid on youtube w/o success but the search 'early aviation' led to a huge archive of neat stuff from the history of a Soviet Su-24 Fencer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXW0-OryNbQ or a completely restored Me-109 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmA9Kba7IT4&mode=related&search= to cool NASA videos of experimental aircraft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeie-u8uomI uh-oh another time-waster...
