Really, that was your biggest safety concern?! :-)
The fact that they are welding steel had me twitchy too, but more from a weight standpoint! I wonder if they understand weight and balance issues and whether that "plane" can even fly out of ground effect, should it get off the dirt. The various canard airfoils were cool and might reduce the chance of a stall/spin accident, again, if they should manage to leave the ground! As a flight instructor I was staggered watching that...

Richard Branson would be so jealous. Maybe he'll hire this guy for his upcoming tourist space flights.

You have lost your sense of humor. We are not discussing the design etc... We are looking at it as a joke.

The original Wright Flyer had neither a 'cockpit' nor an 'inside.'
