It looks like it was built out of scrap metal and a lawn chair. How is it suppose to fly?

My BS meter just went off the charts. And he wants to trade for a nice car. Sure.

The ad says it is a "tow behind". I think he means it is a tow-launched auto-gyro glider. I does sorta look like the pictures on http://www.vortechonline.com/bensen/

But it is definitely missing a few pieces. Like the rotors.

I think this example will only fly with the aid of a catapult.

They are interesting. Often they were used behind a boat on a winch for aerial observation, looking for Tuna or other schooling fish.

I think someone was bored that day when they made this and needed a good chuckle.
