That's my point, the seat is halfway the side window of the prototype (around 10.15 into the film), the center of gravity of the empty plane is probably not under the rotors, because a large part of the aircraft and its tail and engine is located aft of the rotors. So seating yourself in the seat puts the CoG even further aft. I think the aircraft will not pivot aroound its skids, but salto backwards.  Are there any footage or stills of this aircraft in flight?
