I’m so looking forward to this one. I see in the pics Adam is playing with a RC plane - I can’t wait to see how their experiment goes. I REALLY need to get my plane back together and in the air. That looks like some kind of GWS model they are using… the wing looks almost exactly like my Slowstick wing.

I think it’s going to take off. I don’t really see this as any different than a plane sitting on a patch of ice. The plane still moves forward as it’s pushing against the air, not the ground. But we’ll see… :)

Update:

  1. The plane flew!!
  2. Kottke live blogs event and opens comments - debate continues
  3. Someone actually registers http://www.airplaneonatreadmill.com
