That is a nice looking machine triple X, my only concern is (what looks like from the pic) a jerry can strapped onto the side, is that the fuel tank?
What type is it X? I can't seem to find any on Google...
I myself would love to fly one of these machines, especially an RAF 2000!
As far as safety goes, I suspect it is all about attitude! There are ways to minimse the safety risk at all levels of aviation, but it takes a lot of discipline, even more so when parts of the sport are largely self regulated.
