Are you guys actually going to test this?
I'm not sure how accurate the test would be to tell you the truth, someone like Mythbusters needs to take it on. A model plane is going to be so light that it can take off from a standstill, it needs weight and a type of plane that actually needs a runway to take off. I searched on Mythbusters site and there was a 50+ page thread on this, it's now locked so maybe they are actually going to do something with it.
With a budget and a small plane, it could be done. I seriously doubt there is any way to test this truly with a large plane though. A 4000 ft long conveyor is just not going to happen.
I'm all for testing things, but I want it done right or it means nothing.
