Fabulous, many thanks for the link

Mind you at one point it looked like they were doing a push start. And did I spot some bent propellor blades?

Thanks Buzz! A great video.

My data says the thing flew 2 or 3 times, and had a very bad vibration issue, probably due to an out-of-balance driveshaft.

In any case, it is interesting to see it airborne.
