Brakes were on and it was tied to a pickup truck. This is experimental aviation. If you want absolute safety get a computer and play with Microsoft Flight Simulator in your living room. Actually the ZOOM on the camera made it look scary. Cameraman was further away than it looked. I have 150 flying hours on the airplane now. Very much worth the 5-year building effort.

Your neighbors must have called you crazy when they heard you were building a plane.
I think you have permission to laugh at them now.

I bet your neighbors *really* appreciated that. After the run, did you climb out and roll the thing back into the garage before the cops came?
