Abu:

In Billy's case, it's more like 14 days times 20 hours per day. He;s an animal when it comes to building. And it's quality work. The art work on the side of the Ansaldo, you see in the second video, was all hand painted.

David:

It wasn't a CG problem. The wings are very thin and as a result very flexible. The rigging keeps it alinged and the rigging failed. If you listen very carefully, you can hear a wire snap right after it drifts over the corn. And it was probably a little under powered, even though I thought the original 90cc engine did a pretty good job.
