I've not read the last few pages of this thread, but I still don't believe the aeroplane would fly!
IF it was in a wind tunnel in this scenario, yes, but just in a gym or whatever, it wouldn't.
Imagine that (god forbid
) you're at the gym running on the treadmill - you have no "relative" wind, therefore if you were a wing, no angle of a attack, therefore no lift!
