Having seen video of this guy, I didn't see any evidence that he could actually gain significant altitude. He jumps out of a plane, glides around for a while, then pops a parachute to land.
from jet-man.com:
Since this First success, Yves did more than 30 motorized flights, improving this first prototype with the help of his team. He could fly as long as 6 minutes 30" and even with a little climb rate.
"even with a little climb rate" == "no significant altitude gain"
I note he's looking for sponsors. There's one born every minute.
