so the miniature plane on a treadmill failed. the ultralight on the tarp (not sure how true to a treadmill this was) took off. so it's at least plausible that the plane can take off. proved me wrong.
i am definitely intrigued by the physics involved here and i would like to investigate it further. unfortunately, i lack the resources to prove it true or false, and have to accept what happened on MythBusters.
