  1. There are only a few such machines. They are very fragile so they are kept at airports in large hangers and only used on windless pre-dawn flights.

    To operate one, you need to be a world class athlete, and able to simultaneously pedal and fly.

    Costs are about a million dollars or so; should be possible to make one for about $200k if labor is free.

    More practical craft are ultralights; powered parachute may provide the thrill you want at a reasonable cost.
