John Murchison's 'Pearse Flyer' -- I don't think he ever released this, although those few who have the 10-year-old 'Godzone' magazine CD, issue 3, will have a beta version. This flies well (crashes a lot, but that's what hedges are for) and when you shut the engine down, the display shown here appears.

Thanks to Bazza for the info on this book:

Richard Pearse and his Flying Machines.

Looks like all you'd need to know to build your own Flyer... hint, hint.
