We've probably all done this at one time or another, I mean build something completely from scratch and try to fly it. Well here's my entry. The first few flights of this were done with the Baby Bee and Golden Bee engines, then I put 2 Surestart engines on with 2 ounce fuel tanks. Just before I launched this plane the lower engine started to go rich, it was cold and getting dark out, I should have taken a few seconds to re-tweek the engine, but I didn't. Up in the air I tried to get the lower engine to lean out by climbing and diving and did a rudder roll, but none of that worked. On previous flights I had trouble judging the drop rate and came up a few feet short of my landing spot. So this flight I brought it down faster, it was coming in with a tail wind and by the time I realized how fast it was moving all I could do was slap it down or overshoot the landing spot and end up in the trees. I think this piece of junk is fun to fly and can't wait for the snow to clear out so I can get up in the air again.

So what is your flying junk story? Do you have some pictures or video you could show us?

Hay man, dig that crazy helmet cam!
