Looks like loads of fun.

Sure does!! His videos have made me go look at the Highlander sites, thinking "that would be fun to own".

I wonder if he could be violated by the FAA for careless & reckless operation, specifically for operating an aircraft too close to a person/structure when he does those downhill takeoff runs right past the guy holding the camera (assuming the camera is handheld, which it appears to be given the way it tracks the plane...).

P.S.--I love that his cowling says "YEE HAW"... appropriate!

Good stuff. Is that dead-stick takeoff from the hill legal?

Why not? Gliders take off without an engine all the time.

I opened a facebook account just to see this video, the quality of which is much better than the previous youtube clips...
