Hey, for all you people that are pulling things out from their collective asses, at least criticize from the damned website and press release: http://www.humanbirdwings.net/press/ Closeup of backpack here: http://www.humanbirdwings.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG...
But now I don't see any motors.

So maybe the white blocks wrapped in blue are batteries? But now I don't see any motors.

The fact that they haven't makes me think it's fake.
I wish it were real though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just above the blue batteries you'll see two little walky-talkie looking things. Those are motor controllers (note the thick wires coming off of them). Those are mounted on a plate. The motors are farther up, under the plate.
Now I have a new problem. Someone else mentioned this: watch how the leaves on the ground change at 1:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tKFOcHyrI
Incredibly skeptical. Red flags: 1. He's received criticism about his videos before, but still insists on filming in random parks, only releasing to press after the event, and using blurry/shaky footage. 2. When he takes off, the camera shakes heavily. When he lands, someone steps in front to block the view. 3. At 0:35, his legs lift up so that his body is parallel to the ground (necessary for flight.) If he had been…
Why don't you read his dev blog? http://www.humanbirdwings.net/project-timeline/ It would seem that arguments about the system instead of the filming might, you know, be more productive.
In this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tKFOcHyrI#t=101s The switch happens in a moment of blur at 1:53.
Here's some damning evidence: http://i.imgur.com/LODDp.jpg

When seeing a video they point the camera down, so you "forget" the exact details of the wing. But when you put them next to each other, it's a dead giveaway.
