I'm not a pilot nor do I make or repair planes, but could see several reasons why this wasn't going to fly. The funniest part though is how the landing gear broke when it hit the ramp.
White people test by progressively faster taxi until lift is created to get it off the ground. Whereby they remain in ground effect. Which affords a variety of feedback of aircraft stability and safety. All while on the ground or within feet of it.
If the landing gear didn't break on the ramp it likely would have had enough momentum in a head wind to remain airborne.
For 2 seconds until it stalled?
Depends on the topography of the hill on the other side of the ramp.
