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 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.

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? |

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. http://www.jet-man.com/actuel_eng.html |
