Status: offline 		This one wasn't too crazy, but was a good use for some stuff I had laying around.

Fuselage was a simple "lost foam" method fiberglass shell, wings were from a previous pattern plane, vertical fin was sticks, sheeted, and power was an OS .40 Control was via elevons, rudder, and throttle.

It had a fun, but brief career. (My first scratch-built flying wing design)

Status: offline 		Here's my disk. I have a ball flying this thing. It is the easiest hovering plane I have ever seen. I can barely hover my GP Giles and my wasp. This thing lets me hover out a tankful if I want to without any problem. It also does some of the strangest maneuvers I've ever seen. The coolest trick is a 45 degree nose high spin/piroette. It hangs and spins with the center of rotation at the prop. When I first started flying it, it went lean in a hover about a foot off the ground. It sagged and sat down square on it's tail and stayed there. I shut down the engine and went out to pick it up. I got a round of applause from the pits. They thought I did it intentionally. I haven't been able to do it again since then. I've gotten it to sit down but I can't get it to stay. It usually falls over one way or the other. It's also the cheapest plane I have ever had. About 8 bucks for the coroplast and a couple for the ply inner cradle.

I might have to make one of those disc flyers. The guys at the field think I am much to normal anyway.

I saw that for sale on E-bay earlier this month. I thought it was a joke and blew it off.

Don't know if it sold or not, but looked pretty neat.

Status: offline 		Yup the flying lawnmower is for real. My friend flies for Alaska and is a good pilot, but the one he did was a handful. He did the biggest darn loop I have ever seen, almost into the ground and even a roll or two. He painted and trimmed it to look like a Honda mower. He also did Snoopy's dog house so I am wondering about his sanity!!!
