[Land-speed] New LSR

I noted the same. I think it would pitch-pole if it was so rigged. 
No heeling to spill air either. BJ in Beantown, (traded the ocean for the garage)

It appears that the outrigger is on the UPWIND side. You can see this by the 
upward bending in the strut, leaning of the vertical wing, and the dust 
blowing down-wind. Why isn't it on the down-wind side? To offset blow-over 
forces you have to add a lot of weight as wells as build in down-force (with 
the corresponding DRAG) on the strut. If he was heading in the other 
direction the strut could be built with less drag and ballast? Interesting!
