It is kinda fun torkin' items that were not meant to be torked. I could not stop laughing after that because it looked like a school bus torkin. It was quite stable once in the tork regime. It did lack power and throw, but it had enough.
It weighed 15 1/2 lbs, made out of coroplast(yes it is a spad) and is powered by a homelite 45cc chainsaw coversion with magneto.
Chris Jumper (aka "The spad man of ROCK") built the plane and did the engine conversion. He is our resident "Mad scientist".
We do have a colorful bunch at our field.
Paul got the building chip, Gator got the covering chip.
And a few people who will remain nameless got the ***hole chip.
Thanks for the kind words Ulf, Gator and Paul usually give me slack about the fuel I burn.
