Define "nearly everyday (sic)" and then we can talk. Chalk this up as gross exaggeration.

Apparently they exhibited satisfactory adherence to the regulations in force at each of the certifying bureaus. Additionally, they are inspected just like every other aircraft.

My guess? Continuing to inspect, gather information and enforce the rules and regs as they normally do. Additionally, Frank Robinson lobbied for additional training requirements for all of his designs. What more would you like the relevant bodies to do, exactly?

Design? Not really. It's quirky, but it's a flying machine just like any other. Engines? Same engines as in many fixed wing aircraft, and they're (gasp) certified as well.

Same as usual: pilots need to fly the aircraft within its limitations.

Quite simple, really.

Any other hyperbolic questions?
