I bet that 99% of the 'herd' in this thread are dying to see the video of a true beginner and his turbine when it flies. Give him 4-5 jets and you could make some money selling that video. This is kind of like the theory of the monkey and the typewriter. How many beginners does it take, and how many spectacular crashes does it take before one beginner actually learns to fly a turbine?

Yep, I was wrong about Wilbur's death. It was the other guy in the plane that died.
