A good idea needs landing gear as well as wings to get off the ground.

Not meaning to crash their party, but with an adult salty weighing anywhere up to a tonne, you'd want to be careful you didn't suddenly find you've run out of cyclic because you now have an asymmetric load that looks firmly latched on throwing you out of c of g. Nice photo but!

I wonder if you can log that as sling time.....
I'm a pessimist, that way I'm either always being proven right, or pleasantly surprised.
