Does anyone have any thoughts regarding the safety of the Russia AC5M


self launcher?




The propeller is inches from the pilots head with the engine in the


stowed position. How much of a hazard would this be in a hard landing
or


crash?




How safe is the cockpit? I dont much like the location of the fuel tank


The 2.5 gallon fuel tank is directly behind the pilots head.




I haven't found much data on the AC5M so any info would be appreciated.

Safe, quality? Ask yourself, do you know of any Russian products at all

that sell outside of Russia? No? That's because there aren't any. They

don't make anything worth buying.


Oh, I think Syria would disagree with you.
