I bet he was jumping while he was holding it like that.

But no, it does not look dangerous at all. The only thing that could possibly cause a problem is him tripping or something but then again nothing would even happen if he did trip, I mean he is holding the thing and can direct it. Its just like holding a chain saw, I am going to have to try that with my plane and get a friend to take a picture, that would be awsome!

A few pictures I took at Top Gun, a good looking F-4 and the large B-29 on final, yes it was on final in a full power turn! After that I went down to Ft. Lauderdale to the air show on the beach to see some full scale airplanes. I used a long lens so quality is a little low. I got lucky on the F-16 head-on knifedge and the wings match up perfectly and the fly-by of the F-22 and P-51 just made me smile.

Its actualy a composite fuzz which I got two of from a bud ( one for back up )
as a kit with wing templates and tail template but then I didn't like the wing section and wanted a slightly wider chord so I did my own wings with my own section.

It weighs in at 20.6LBS with a 100cc twin
