30 feet of altitude? In an aircraft that is reported to be severely
unstable in pitch? That guy must have big brass ones... I'd *try* to keep
it in ground effect, if at all possible. More performance, and maybe a
reduced chance of a *big* crash.

I don't know about what "corrections" these guys made to the flyer. The
original (and the faithful replicas) are unstable in pitch.
