So is Hans Madsen on this list?
I'm always skeptical of things that are just throwaway lines like
that...was this pure lego? How much cheating was involved?
There was a couple of photos of a lego helocopter that could
really fly on the list a few days ago...I don't think anyone
truly believes that it wasn't faked in some way.
You need proof - still photo's of the mechanisms taken up close.
Just like any scientific claim, it's not gonna be believed until
someone can reproduce it - and "Extraordinary claims require
extraordinary proof".

Yes - exactly.
