aerohead -- The (possibly apocryphal) story I heard was the on his test flight, he couldn't figure out why he wasn't taking off so he looked behind and saw that the augmented exhaust was conforming to the fuselage and pointing like a blow-torch at his tail surfaces. He pulled back on the stick and hopped over the wall of the city of Paris and made a landing he walked away from. If it's not true, it's still a great story.
