| I would'nt want a heat source that close to my rear. What if I had beans and cabbage the night before? Yeah, looks like fun, but I dunno. I've done Ultra-lights but this is a little different.

| Jet powered!? Jeez, what's the training regimen on that thing? How do you land it? You're jet powered, blowing around and your standard Mark 2 leggs are supposed to stand that strain. Nah, no me. I may be crazy, but I ain't THAT crazy. |

| I hope the dude is wearing a parachute. "There I was at 9,000 and it flamed out"...... or worse, run out of fuel. Maybe it's like the German "Komet"..... it gets you up there, then you're on your own ! No thanks !! Charles

 | Hmmm... I like a bit more metal around me. But flying in that is probably less frightening than landing with me!

| Seriously, how would you land that thing? Fly till it runs out of gas (or there may be a cut off), glide in, pull up at the last second and land standing up? |

| I'd be worried about those wings "accidentally" folding up on me . . . |

Hopefully, the genius who built the thing thought that part through. Unless the shots are from his one and only flight! | |
