  2. I may not be qualified to be sure but, looks like certain death to a
    poor set of square tapers.

  3. i'd say eventually that'd kill some square tapers. and by eventually i
    mean in not *that* long. Good technique would help, as would a soft
    landing. if you're gonna be repeatedly doing that(and bigger) get some
    splines.

  6. Great pics. Splines would be nice, but depending on how much you weigh,
    they mike make it a while. keep up the good work!😄

  8. its in a field next to my house. i have landed it once out of 50 times
    and thought i might find it easier on my 24. it might just be that after
    the first time i landed it i ruined the landing ramp so its landing on
    flatter ground.

  13. oh god that's scary..

    seriously though..when I saw th epicture I felt my heart clench.

    One voice is telling me: Dude...you would so try that...!

    and another voice is saying: don't be stupid you'll kill yourself.
    noquestions asked.

    The first voice then says:well, if someone build it then it must be
    doable right? An in any event..you coul always bail in mid-air.

    SEE?! that's why I don't think I'll live past my twenties!
