Useless, not even room to carry a packet of snags and a six pack. No good for the poms either as nowhere to put their fish and chips.

...wonder if you have to carry a pocket Mode 'S' when flying over a built up area. . . . . .

You mean the old "is that a transponder in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me".

Looneys... probably what they said about ol' Orville and Wilbur.. good thing they (and others) persevered!

Can't disagree there Adam,. . .probably a wise flight safety decision by Orville and Wilbur in not "persevering" with aerobatics around the high buildings in the middle of New York or Chicago though. . . .

Not for a moment do I think they are 'Looneys!'......They are guys, with a vision, the guts and the skill to do what they are doing. They are creating the path for others to follow.....Who knows where it will lead.

If they make one of them rigs to fit a fat bar$tard,. . . . I'LL Fly one tomorrow morning ! ! ! ! ! ! looking at the wing loading arithmetic,. . .I dunno if I'd fit in the back of a Herc with an 11 metre wing and 2 x RB211s strapped on my back. . . . . ( do you need BIG hands for positive control though I wonder. . . ? ? ? ? ? ) MAYBE you need FLYING GLOVES. . . . . a mate of mine said he bought some Guitar gloves, and could play a guitar just fine whilst wearing em,. . . . .maybe I could fly with the right kind of gloves. . .?? I mean. . .RAF officers used to fly with Kid gloves,. . . .why they didn't use Adult gloves I dunno,. . .. the world is full of questions. . . . .
