Bizarre Fly power !

In 1955 an American modeller entered a lightweight indoor model aeroplane that was powered with a domestic fly as the motive source,this was shown in a copy of the 'Aeromodeller' magazine as a fly powered model aeroplane.

Mark,this is multi fly power,reminds me of the 'Flight of the phoenix' film with them clinging to the wings like that,now there is also a story about bumble bee's not officially being able to fly as their pwer weight ratio is all wrong ?
