A few frames of the video reveals the general construction and control surface operation of these “peopleplanes”.

I’d love to build one to chase Andreas Ritter’s witch around the sky this summer.

I don’t know who you would contact to get some plans.

It is a long shot Frank... I sent an email to a VP of AMA District II (NY & NJ).

We may get some details on the flying people.
