Right then, since no one is responding I'll bump the thread with my personal idea:
So I'm thinking a kind of backpack-like oversized lightbulb that intakes atmospheric gas through the top and heats it up to a plasma-like state and then expels the plasma to steer the craft and prevent the device from heating to the point that the filament burns out or the user gets burnt.

I am fairly sure that the lost mass in lifting gas would be more than compensated in structural mass. Think of the slightly over ambient pressure helium as a substitute for thick steel walls/struts
