I think you all ruin the case by over doing some of the trivial points being made . Why not just stick to the BIG safety issues and not get petty ...this is not filmed in the uK with the CAA making daft rules . I dont really care about the taking off over people on the beach , dont care about flying with the left hand ( whats wrong with that ?? If i am drinking /smoking /on phone ..i often fly with left hand . ) Even doing a steep turn is not a hanging offence ....or even flying bare foot !!!! I also think most of his flight was within distance to ditch in shallow water which is probably what you would want to do with a beach full of people .
I would not fly with him because i didnt feel he was a safe pilot.. beacause of the warning lights and push overs ...that is plenty for me !!!. The rest is not in itself dangerous , other than boing in a robinson .. ( maybe turn was a bit steep but cant prove from a video ) I would also agree that no loose clothing is a must with doors off .
