    I’ve been caught in a situation like this in a thruster many years ago luckily someone heard us coming in and put car lights on the Strip there was plenty of light at 500ft but nothing at ground level asi hard to read as no dash lighting

    Not to forget Rotors on the lee side of hills Nev probably wouldn't worry sail boats but aircraft close to stall speed and low to the ground something to be wary of.

    When I first started flying I used to think it was fun flying up through holes in cloud cover and finding another to get back down I don't do that now in fact I've found vfr into imc conditions to be the Most unforgiving situation a vfr pilot can get himself into

    The fact remains most people I know would rather fly around with a 912 with 1500hrs on it than a Jab with 500 on it

    These days it costs 120 mill to build a car park or pay a bunch of consultants to tell a local council what it already knows and the janitors cat has more wisdom. Give them a go

    Probably was said about a lot of innovators just maybe the world will end up with a great little aircraft remember a bloke called Henry Ford.

    I would be worried about elevator control and hinge damage from them climbing over the aircraft I'm pretty sure if I was caught on camera stealing fuel and tampering with an aircraft I would be arrested
