Oh, I feel sorry for you wife. After seeing the crash video, I'm sad. If you're going to kill yourself, don't make her film it.
All this is really for nothing. There's nothing innovative about the design other than that it's cockpitless. There's a reason why airplanes have cockpits, it protects the pilot, and holds essential avionics, and control.
If you're going to persist in this, at least leave some contact information for your wife, so that I may ask send condolences, when you pass.
@Nomoreidsleft You are even more clueless than this guy is... He needs training, and that's it. You need a much better understanding of what is and isn't important and what are and aren't valid worries with respect to aircraft. The Birdman, given that it is an ultralight, is actually a safer and more innovative design than most. It gives more protection, and it is more efficient since it generally uses smaller engines than many other ultralights. Cockpits are for comfort, not really protection.
Watching all of your videos, particularly "crash and recovery" where comments are disabled, You are an idiot! This is asking for death! Since this was filmed in 2008 I assume this guy in now dead!
I'm afraid for you but I do admire your bravery or foolishness.....Your wife is very calm about you in that deathtrap. Was that from a plan or did you just come up with the idea after a few drinks?
Either the pilot is very heavy on the controls or that aircraft is tail heavy. from looking at your other clips I thyink the later is the case. A tail heavy aircraft will kill you one day!

Why not take it around the pattern? That would be safer than attempting to do a "hop" and land.

Death it not a substatute for proper training, Birdman is a piece of junk.Take up golfing.

That is a terrible design. No wonder he is having problem. I am surprised he is still alive. Is he?
