May I ask why you think it would be a poor aircraft to fly? I'm not at the point where I can look at a plane and start gauging its characteristics, but hope to be.
Tiny rudder, unclear about the ability to match vertical CG to propeller thrustine, and that long cantilever from behind the cockpit to the rotor hub just frightens me.

Also, there's a lot to be said for generating the noise and propwash downwind, not into wind, of the cockpit - viz all flexwing microlights and pretty much all modern gyroplanes.

I hope I'm wrong - it's beautiful, and I'd love to see some fly sooner than later, and you definitely want it to be as good to fly as it looks.
