Chris Burden was a great American artist. I helped him install/exhibit the B-Car at the Whitney. He once staged a tug of war in a circus tent in Milan: 5 Fiats vs. a Caterpillar Bulldozer. Despite his fearsome reputation [being shot/sealed in a mailbag and tossed on a busy street/shooting at 747’s with a .22] he was…

Come on! That thing would last about an afternoon in NYC. Like the Amphicar, crappy car/crappy boat, this thing is terrible car [bike wheels?] and worse airplane [underpowered, draggy, and ugly airframe]. This video is why I hate soundtrack music.

Leaf. Leaf. Not Leaves. Jeeze.

Yes, I agree with rsignal. The headwind kept him high, you can even see him drop the nose a bit to try and lose altitude at 0:05. A slip is the only way to get down without an overt increase in speed. Cross controlling is fun and proves this captain is a pilot not a typist.
