You are absolutely right. It is dangerous. I look back at when I tested the Little Beast, and I am ashamed to tell you that I used concrete blocks. Every time I look back on that, it scares me. To think that I could have used such bad judgement. What if I had suffered a rough landing and those things had started having a mind of their own? What a horrible thought. I am going to put sand in a pair of pants and secure it with the seat belt. Then I am going to add a shirt sewn and filled with sand and have it secured with the seat and shoulder harness. I am going to tie the legs and arms together so they won't flop around so much. The only thing is that I need to get as much weight as Jerry and that is going to be hard to do.

Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- Every time I see someone on the list talk about sandbags in the cockpit I always worry about the darn things shifting around and as we all know it doesn't take much shifting around, not to mention a loose 50 pound bag of sand, in a KR to make things interesting for the pilot.
