Default RE: ROTC project

i'm not sure if you guys are getting the message here from the experienced fliers.

the reason there is a bit of sarcasm and reference to "being 15", is basically becasue the pilots/builders here know that what you have proposed is going to be virtually impossible for you. When i say virtually, it is figuratively speaking, as nothing is absolutely certain (see einstein's theory of relativity and uncertainty principle). But i'd bet with about 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999% certainty that this one wont happen.

there are aspects such as costs, materials, aerodynamics, parts, time, weight..and then the flying stuff...

i agree with other here about trying to just build a flying aircraft.

these posts are more a reality check then discouragement. Reality is something you'll need to apply in terms of assessing a project's feasibility when undertaking any engineering endeavour.

Many good ideas, even brilliant, have been harpooned by feasibility.

I mean, we could, live on the moon, or mars couldnt we.. we have the technology.
