I built one of these in 1996, with chainsaw engines running wide open and opposing flaps beneath each motor to kill lift and provide yaw control. Kind of like a opposing thrust reverser on a fixed wing jet. Plan was to use it to use it as a portable ski lift in the back country. It worked, but wife decided it or she was leaving me. So now it hangs in the garage, a mute testimony to what could have been.
