judging from the size of the brave test pilot's girth... if you add baked beans fuel the auxillary tushy engine would drive that thing to mach speed!!

I think you could have an IQ contest; just offer it to a bunch of guys and see who is gullible enough to try it. And I am not an engineer, but I did have a semester in college. Design wise, I think the front end needs a lot more rake angle if one was going to ride it at any speed. Chopper guys know about this. Wait till he hits a bumpn that throws him down and back, he going to wish he had asbestos pants.
