Re: UpForce

I'm not very good at physics, but the force would have to be greater than 130 lbs. i think, maybe something like 130 times 9.8 to counteract gravity???

Anyways I still don't think you can get a prop spinning fast enough to take off. Also take into consideration how much it would take to control where that thing goes.

Sound like a safety hazard to me.
