Now this was dangerous.

Dangerous exceedingly, but legal according to the FAR's. Over A ton and a half and 33'-4" or werling rotors and loaded with 618 Lbs of flammable Jet A is OK but a 2 or 3 lb piece of carbon fiber and a LiPoly battery weighting 3/4 as much as the whole thing is Illegal any where any thing. Go Figure.
