They'd arrest whomever used it for littering and running an
unlicensed toxic waste dump.

I just want to know why he doesn't fly it, or at least watch it fly. I have
nothing against the guy, I don't know him and I'm not going to judge by who
he calls a friend. It just seems that he's put in a lot of effort here, I'd
want to see it fly.

I wonder how many aircraft are built and never flown by the builder.
I can understand building for the fun of it then selling, but I venture
to say there are some that the builder is afraid to fly. This is
assuming the aircraft passes inspection in the first place.

But how much time did he put into it? From the description it looks
like he bought a partially finished kit in Australia.

I think he is probably scared of it. I would be.

And I have to disagree with you. Who one chooses as friends is an excellent
judge of one's character. It bay even be the best way.

I'm sure it is, and if a persons associates are dubious it leaves one one
cautious about him. But I've always been willing to guage people as I find
them, not nescessarily on what I've heard. Not really the topic I had in
mind though.

Isn't Juan's buddy Zoom a test pilot?
Maybe he could do the flight test program for Juan?

No, but he is crazy. Maybe someone needs to put him on the spot to
prove how big and brave he really is You know "put up or shut up."

I think to qualify for a Guinnes record you have to actually apply. In any
case I'd likely give it to the Cri-Cri on the basis of non-flight, but here
is a yet smaller craft. Perhaps it is too small to qualify as an aircraft,
I'd give him any record he wants, this guy truly is the real thing.
