BTW regarding the interesting flying by SB at the 66 launch, there must have been at least two demo flights; the first with the proud new owners. This was flown by SB and he diligently and professionally went through his checklist with new owners/pax alongside. The lift however, was slightly less professional, with one skid at least 40cm in the air before wobbling into a high hover and then a very aggressive transition.

I wasn't around for the second demo, but a towering t/o with a few hundred onlookers just yards away was not a smart move . SB could have amazed the crowd with his massive talent by pulling the same stunt from the adjacent training area, not directly over the pad - and the crowd
