As reported on CBC's website, Yves Rossy is planning to fly his jet powered backpack style wing over the Grand Canyon. That will make for some great photos, videos, etc. Here's wishing him good luck!

Update (an hour later): While the FAA gave him permission, Yves decided the time frame was too tight and canceled the flight, and he was not comfortable he would have time to train / practice flying in such a "challenging" space. Too bad. Looking forward to the next flight!

A older style model airplane - free flight. Rubber band powered balsa and tissue paper planes. Spotted this from the Make Blog.

Might be something to try as I have a bit of left over balsa and a lot of tissue paper.
