If you couldn't fly one of those preengineered foamie toys, you surely would be a failure .
And the problem with Preengineered is???
Please post a video of one of your own flights so we can all admire the superior piloting skillls you gained from building your own aircraft. .
Do you really beleive the average home made balsa aircraft requires more skill and is more challenging to fly than the F27Q Stryker?
I flew dozens of balsa planes as the clubs youngest instructor (17) and they were all much easier to fly..
Sorry about the video. I am 85 and blind in one eye so I don't fly much anymore. I suppose I could fly one of those foamies but I don't consider that much of a challenge.
BTW in the 60's the country I was living in invited me to enter the international aerobatic contest as their representative. But I was and still am an American I decided it would not be the right thing to do.
Unfortunately my glory days are over. One day it will happen to you.
