Onetrack, he is obviously a squirrel pilot. I have it on good authority that they are all endowed in a similar manner. Toptobottom. When i have proven the Bug airframe and drive systems, i plan to construct a full size ring rotor a mockup of which can be seen on one of the pics posted (the mock up sits on top os a pair of blades) The ring rotor is device that permits enormous inertia without the weight penalty of heavy blades. My belief is that until these VLH machines have loads of inertia they are risky at best, and deadly in low level operation, particularly the sort of flying carried out by low time pilots.BUG.
