Pie, compare your diagram to mine in post 67. See the difference? This is critical. The treadmill does not move the axle, it moves the wheel around the axle. Thus, the planes forward thrust has no opposite force, and moves the plane (attached to the axle) forward until lift overcomes gravity and the plane takes off.

This has been fun, but I didn't get a damn thing done this afternoon. We need to add a NSFP* warning on these.
