He mentions the RRPM is 730 in the hover - I wonder if he has thought through its ability to autorotate, the blade area is small (hence the high Nr required to generate lift) - how is that disc area going to provide enough auto force to keep the rotors going when his engine stops?

And since he doesn't have a collective, how would he cushion the touchdown?

Definite Darwin Award territory.......
