Some people have been captured flying them things without authority at "Barclay Field" recently - much to the mirth of those watching on.
Apparently the "pilot" was not signed in, never asked if he could take off, never put out the red flags to indicate it was a maiden flight, was UN-insured . . . the list goes on and on. He flew over vehicles and pit area and once launched, just casually walked back to shed claiming his "POPIT" on a windy day can stay aloft for hours. It will be very competitive for the next round of the bladder cup. It was so stable one could afford to go for a wee walk whenever . . . claims the pilot.

The "POPIT" is a ramjet parafoil. It is named as such because of its convenience of transporting and storage. At the end of its flight it is all folded up, tucked into an a small stuff bag - then you pop it in your pocket. It is designed to be clipped on your belt and taken anywhere.
The pilot was forgiven for his failure to comply with WAM's flying regulations (walking away from a tethered device). He was threaten that he will have to pay full flying fees if caught flying it again . . . especially if he wires up an eklectic motor to it and tries free flight with it.
He is well known for his crazy ideas! He needs a big WAK around the earhole!
