How wise is that? The FAA really allows that, huh? If I had a noose in a
tree, and called it an experimental airplane, would the FAA let me fly
it? Probably not if the nose was over a populated area, huh? Just
wondering.


supposedly if you can prove its flight characteristics, and prove that
the materials used wont fail under anticipated stresses, yeah, you could
fly it.

Neither the FAA, the gummint, nor we really care if you build an airplane
out of concrete and power it with a string of firecrackers. Precautions are
taken to limit exposure of innocent parties, however - so you may find
yourself with a test area restricted to the Mojave desert, 20 miles from any
known habitation.

You may, if you wish, kill yourself by attempting to fly anything you like.
Have a ball!
