It is a very different social construct when one considers that military and police control of the population of China is a valid and accepted use of this kind of hardware.
Speaking of hardware, what engine does this thing use? How close a copy of a Rotax 912 engine is it?

I think 90% of his unplanned/forced landings and emergencies have been in the gyros. Mind you, several of those were engine related so a Rotax 914 might have prevented a few of those. Those are stories I would like to hear!
