Way to go Muhammed!

Holy crap. If it even leaves the ground he must be a genius.
So you've told us what you think of ultralights. What
do you think of homebuilt helicopters?
I flew a Breezy once and I can tell you it felt REAL strange sitting
up there in a dining room chair with the wind blowing up my butt. It
was kind of an "unusual" sensation to say the least.



I got a ride in one. Sorry, on one. The owner made me sit in the
front. And then he did a big steeply turning dive!

Dudley, Bertie... it's more fun sitting in the front seat during a stall
and recovery! The sky just drops away and you have the whole world in
front of you.

I did a few stalls before I landed the Breezy. I always do that with a
strange airplane just to get the feel of it near the left side of the
envelope. You're right, it WAS a STRANGE feeling :-))))
