Hello Mickey,

You have a fertile mind! I like all of your suggestions. The stopping the rotor and restarting is a good one. I accomplished that one day when I had a midair collision with a electric glider. My Simple G (Jim Baxter Design) and the glider came together for a short time when neither of us expected it. The glider spun down, the Simple G stopped forward flight and the rotor stopped at the same time, as it fell, the rotor resumed rotation and I made a controlled landing with no roll. The only other time I've been able to stop the rotor has been while holding inverted flight at the top of the loop. I can't say It stopped very long because I haven't got the nerve. To attempt any sustained inverted flight might be another challenge to anyone who's crazy enough.
You've got a lot of great Ideas, keep that creative mind working. I wonder if any other guys have any input?

Joel
