Never mind. This picture puts in better perspective.

After looking at the two pictures, I would put his eyeballs at between 3 and
4 feet off the ground.

Still, that's quite a perspective, since it is your melon that is out in
front of almost everything else, and it is what would get smushed, if
anything "bad" happened. Hmmm.

Also, I have never read about it's flight characteristics, but the small
fin, and the fact that it would be totally blanketed in a spin, I would bet
a very mean flat spin could develop, if it was ever spun.

I had never seen that one before. Interesting, and probably slick as snot!
It would be fun to build one with the pilot sitting like a sleek glider
pilot, and with a pusher prop.
