It will fly because they will not be able to replicate the 'rules' that were in the thread on this forum.

What do you think will happen? The plane's just going to magically pop up into the air? The point of the runway is to have the air push the wings up, if it's just going on a treadmill that won't happen. Is there wind when you put your car on a dyno? I think not.

I think you're trolling , however...

The propeller is pulling the plane down the treadmill, the plane is not still. Same wind it would have on a runway. The wheels on the plane do not propel it.

the wheels are pushing against the dyno equalling no mtion, with a plane it is pushing against the air

same type example get a skateboard a rope and a treadmill, connect the rope to some stationary object, get on skateboard and turn treadmill on, now if you pull the rope you can easily pull yourself up the treadmill even though the wheels are spinning at the same speed as the treadmill is going..... becuase the wheel speed does not matter in the least since the wheels do not propel the plane forward nor do they create significant friction to slow it down

D.) Plane takes off... In the meantime, Buster takes hostage Adam AND Kari... and takes the plane to Cuba to hold them for ransom...

Jamie has to build another plane from scratch, and has to take off from the same treadmill in order to save Adam and Kari. He tries to take off but can't... what's wrong? When Buster took off it was precisely 12:00 with the sun at high noon (wtf?) ; the only time a plane can EVAR take off from a treadmill.

Buster will stay in Cuba to become the future Dictator. It's always been his dream.

Adam and Kari then have to build a pirate ship to get back to the US. Then they have to build a car out of wood and rock to get back to the Mythbuster headquarters.

Only then, all is well.
