Busted....the plane takes off...the conveyor belt cannot resist the propellor forces moving the plane forward.

Woot Woot! Everyone I talked to told me it wouldn't fly and I kept trying to explain that the plane used thrust for forward movement and not torque applied through the wheels.

This is the first post that correctly answers the question.

Not hardly, I said that since day 1!

Good stuff, very cool question. I believe it would fly as well due the the fact that the plane is thrust driven rather then wheel driven.

But Ghosty said it first in this thread, post #6.
And for that he wins.......
......nothing, but the satisfaction of having a good grasp on on the laws of physics and mechanics.
