BTW: He did win one with the FAA. He was able to successfully argue
that his lawn chair did not need an airworthiness certificate. That
charge was dropped and he setted for $1500. He was quoted as saying
its a good thing the FAA was not around when the Wright brothers flew!

And what's up with the BB-gun thing? A right thinking person (yes, they fly
lawnchairs, too) would just cut the strings with a ka-bar. Or a Leatherman,
for today's suburbanite; doubles as a bottle opener. Not much chance of
putting out an eye with an errant missile then. And no danglie strings to
snag in, ummm, powerlines.
