Simple 1900's style hang glider. No engine, no control surfaces. Use roll and pitch to move Otto's legs forward, backward or sideways. The resulting shift in the center of gravity will do the rest. Copying, improving and experimenting is strictly encouraged.

    @WisconsinStatePolice Good. Feel free to just borrow Otto and build him an original Lilienthal glider, or a Hargreaves box kite

    @WisconsinStatePolice just have to find a good way to launch the glider, preferably from a mountain top and into the wind...
