He’s a pilot, is he not ?
I would t touch that thing without knowing how to fly as he had some very specific information. That thing stalls and it’s nighty night.
My brother in law is a pilot. I'd have him teach me.

Just checked online, for the very lightest (ultralight) class of aircraft no pilot's license is required in the USA.

Specifically, the restrictions are: "less than 5 US gal (19 L) fuel capacity, empty weight of less than 254 pounds, a top speed of 55 kn (63 mph; 102 km/h), and a maximum stall speed not exceeding (24 kn (28 mph; 44 km/h)). May only be flown over uncongested areas."

I'd still get lessons though, lol.

I didn’t doubt him about the license and the details, I just don’t think it’s a simple thing to just jump in and run to the store if your buddy has a landing strip

An ant mill, also known as an ant death spiral.

Army ants follow a scent trail to get from the nest out to food sources and back again. Occasionally their path crosses over itself, and they get stuck marching in circles until they die from exhaustion.

That looks like the muslims at mecca.
