please point out the fake areas in the times line David W and David A, all I saw was epic fail, no CGI

Ok - its fake. Before he flies, notice no black dot above the circular design on the right wing. The camera pans down, goes blurry (cut to CGI), then pans up - mysteriously, a black dot now exists above the circular design. Also notice the change (its sublt, but there) in the shadow direction, and the (more obvious) change in the reflectiveness of the wings.

good effort guys, cheers! I also being internalising a very similar complex situation in my head re human-powered flapping wings an hope to fly them in the next Bognor birdman :)

Keep trying! I look forward to seeing this invention work.

a little disappointed I\'m going to have to start questioning the validity of the articles i read on this website.. its so fake its been posted fake on many website and on its own obviously fake just looking at the lame \"cutaways\" and obvious CGI on the wings with a mirror duplication of the left one with overlaid graphic.. shadowing is bad, etc etc.

OK.
I\'ve seen better hang time on basketball players (no wings).
No risk of getting too close to the sun (yet).
Keep on tryin\'! ;-D

It boggles the mind that otherwise intelligent people can\'t see how clearly and obviously this video is a hoax.
Here\'s a clue: Any time you see a video online showing something unbelievable and the video for NO reason leaves the subject (in this example the camera is pointed at the ground JUST before he starts to \"fly\") you should ask yourself why.
For those that know this technique it\'s basically a \"splice\" for lack of a better term. That\'s when the video changes from the real subject (the guy before he starts \"flying\") to the digital version which can now show the incredible, but fake, act.
There\'s no need to believe this fake junk when there\'s plenty of amazing REAL flying going on such as this:

It\'s been known for a long time that human arms don\'t have the power to allow human flight. If you really want to do something like this, find a way to power it with your LEGS.
