Default I would not fly this
I have flown a bunch of aircraft. And I would damn near hop on anything that would go airborne. Well, except for this piece of shit. I'm certain I would rather take my chances in a Tijuana whorehouse.

Having been to a Tijuana whorehouse, I agree.

I have probably close to 20k flight hours total in Cessna 172 Skyhawk's and Bell 206 Jetranger's.

I'm not lying or embellishing. NONE of that has been pleasure flying. All WORK.

That said, I won't get in ANYTHING that isn't Certified by the FAA, and I won't fly with ANYONE that doesn't have a Commercial/Instrument Ticket with at least 500 hours.

I also verify maintenance logs and randomly preflight the aircraft I fly in.

So...what I'm gathering here is....you wouldn't try and get that thing off the ground either?

It looks like it may have already gotten there. WTFO?

In layman's terms, NFW, not even if hell froze over.

It has a registration number, what could go wrong? Doesn’t look like a Boeing product.

I've flown worse. A friend of mine bought an ultralight in boxes. We assembled it, and I test flew it. At best, it was a piece of doo-doo, but it flew,(kinda'). He learned to fly it and putted around for several years. Gyrocopters are a class by themselves. Real POS's.

I'd fly it if it had grav plates, inertial dampers, and class IV shields.
