Dick Deaker - clue's in the name I s'pose.
To be honest, there's a bit of me in that flying but common sense has to prvail because I have responsibilities in life, to my family and to the people who work with and around me.
Flying like Dick in that video is great and exhilarating until of course it goes wrong. The NZ CAA must struggle to police activities like this....
But Robbo's make evolutions like this - much more financially viable so in a way, Robbo's exacerbate the problem. Then you throw in their fragility and voila, the perfect recipe for disaster.
One has to either be desperate for work, or not value one's life much to fly this way in the end.
Great fun - but, alas, those days are over for most of us.
