It's a hanglider suspended with stiff styrofoam cables
attached to a harness. The dog
would figure out quite quickly that it can fly for short hops if
it
runs into the wind.
THIS needs to be done. I declare myself the Wright Brothers
of
canine flight.
Me get buns now.

Anybody ever attach a rubber dog bone to a kite and see what
the dog does? That could get some fun airborn action for the
pooch no? |

Agree, this must be done, cause, the significance is high
and the cost is low. Here is your first bun. If you want to
start a project based on this, that evolves a bit like idea on
HB, I invite you to Halfmakery.com to evolve the acting
side of thinking ;) |

Perfect launch site? Beach with sand dunes. Wind, soft sand
to
cushion any falls. Go to any of the wind-surfer / hang glider
beaches in my area, perfect location! |

Wonder if you'd need a remote safety release. Hate to do
anything that might hurt the pooch. It is flying after all. |

Helmet and padded suit might be a good idea. |
