Check out this little machine while you're at it. It too fits in the, "You go first buddy, I'll watch" category.

no thanks on either of them.

I'll stick to my plastic choppers. at least they'll keep the bugs out of your teeth.

This thing bears a strong resemblence to a contraption that a good friend of mine volunteered to test fly back in the 80's in Kelowna. ( I said good friend, not smart friend) 😀 . This thing was teathered to a trailer at the time and just as he got it to 100% one of the tail rotor blades departed and went whistling by his right ear. Of course the resulting vibration caused a catastrophic meltdown. My buddy had some sort of religious experience at this point and said his test pilot days were over. That's the last I heard of the thing till now.

And "Dynamic Rollover" could be a selling point...Dynamic means good right? Just think of catching bugs on those chicken legs at Vne. Ouch.

I would imagine @ vne in that machine, you'd still be concerned about bird strikes...from behind 😛

Apparently the flight manual recommends leaving your pants and underwear at home to keep the pilots drycleaning costs down! I imagine the sound of puckering you-know-whats drowns out the sound of the engine - in 212 proportions!! 😀

anything with yaw "switches" gives me a pucker factor of 12.... :blink:
