well it worked on the Morane Saulnier as well , even on the one they built.
But it wasn't built to any kind of modern standards, by high school kids and their teacher.

So who wants to take the chance of flying it. Never mind insuring it...

Additional goodies include multiple Garmin panels in the dash (and on the back of the pilot's seat) enlarged tail surfaces and a rocket launched parachute for the whole plane.
No word on the wings yet.
It took me a while to handle the guy's manner in the videos, but there's no denying he knows what he is doing putting an airplane together.

PS C. Jenner haters might want to skip episode #31.

He’s actually building an improved Draco ... scrappy is a different build.. Jenner was hard to watch..

How many race vehicles can still be competitive while down 750hp?

Naval aviation documentary 75 minutes, probably should not start it if you do not have an hour

Tobra 01-16-2021 06:52 PM
I know right. Seriously, I am sorry if you don't have an hour and click on that. I could not turn it off

Grandson of one of the dive bomber crewmembers made it

This is a story I never heard, and reminded me of how great the 747 is

wonder ? totally obvious photoshop?
it's not even that well done . the colors are way to clean and even for it to be real. the shading is all wrong
airplane way to bright compared to the rest of the picture


and the simple fact that the navy will never, ever allow anybody to land on their carrier , that isn't military and navy.
it's too dangerous and even a minor slip up on a landing can cost lives and million dollars in hardware damages.

There isn't an insurance company on the planet that will even think about insuring that.

Calm down, sir. The image when I first saw it was only about 1.75 inches wide.
