Holy crap! Not sure how he got his balls thru that hole!

 
Yeah, since strapping on a flying squirrel suit and jumping off a mountain just isn't dangerous enough.
 
If he turned 90° so he was on a knife edge, how much altitude would he lose since he's no longer creating some lift?
 
Holy smokes, Batman!
That sure is not a big hole to squeeze in. Not much margin for error.
During his first (failed) attempt, I was thinking "you're slow, you're slow, don't stall it!" :lol: I think flying is taking over my brain. I might have to seek medical attention. Or just grab the keys to the Cherokee and go fly. :D (if it wasn't OVC008 :( )

All of it. It wouldn't be like a Red Bull racer going thru the pylons. He would immediately fall out.

More than he could afford. Ballistic drop from that point on.
