Never has it been so easy to think of some positive comments. :-)

I guarantee he has the Surplus Center on speed dial.
Finally, a homebuilt that doesn't claim a 1000 mile range.
Perfect for Monster Garage to turn into a bass boat.

Not that anything could possibly go wrong, but the successful bidder
should invest in a good "flight" suit like this one

The weight of the thing(looks very VERY heavy) and the suit that you
suggested will greatly contribute to pilot safety : -).

Oh my god.

Look at ebay auction ID#4574014226

I would normally say something witty, but I am speechless. Is it a
scam? Perhaps an organic brain dysfunction? Or maybe this man is a
brave new form of life being weeded out my Darwin...

This is so far beyond anything I have experienced.

It sure looks like a candidate for this year's Darwin awards. Even if
it gets off the ground, there isn't going to be hardly any cooling air
flowing over the engine and it'll seize in short order.

The guy who bid on it recently won auctions for an aviation headset, and
a video of ultralights in flight. I guess he's going to sit in the thing
in his living room, put on the headset, watch the video, and pretend
he's flying.

He actually had 2, but one for 5000 was retracted due to "one too many
negatives".

The screen-door turnbuckles in the next to last photograph don't
inspire much confidence in the execution of the design either.

Like the builder says, it'd make a good static display for a
motorcycle shop.
