Yeah, why someone would design an aircraft with the fuel tank selection valve behind the pilot's head is beyond me. Goofs happen though. The Glasair Sportsman was designed with the RED ballistic parachute activation handle (looks similar enough to the mixture handle) mounted right below the throttle console. A simple ergonomic mistake that has led to accidental parachute activations and required a refit.

Oh, that's right, Denver was flying an EZ. On a lighter note, we have 5 EZs based at my airfield that fly quite a bit; they are fantastic and unussual aircraft. The Rutan brothers are one of my main design inspirations. I've built Rutan's Model 76 Voyager and their SC 158-8 Pond Racer.
Cool design @sheepsblood .
Great build. Just my two cents, you should write even a rudimentary description for all your hard work. When I see 'no description' it's like kryptonite to my interest and I rarely download or upvote.
