Default RE: Junk that flies

Ha ha, that's great!

This was 1/2A, so that is as close to appropriate as I can get. This is my only junk plane in existence at the moment. Well some would argue, but I mean one airplane made from two, not one airplane looking like it should be incinerated immediately.

The first time I got an original air hog to actually fly like an airplane was by ripping off the tail feathers, and adding a boom and balsa surfaces. The PlaneBeePig was the result of my kid's Air Hog P-40 (looks like a P-40, flies like a fruit basket with an air hog motor on it) being dismembered in disgust and hot gluing the motor to a - um, shoot, what is it now - a Campbell's Busy Bee? Forget, the sheet balsa .020 thingie that this was but I don't have the box anymore.

Unlike typical Spinmaster products (now there's an appropriate name, putting a spin on the word "fly"..) from whence the motor came, this actually flies quite well.

p.s. looks like the floor maybe getting some fresh urethane this year.
