More of the Flying Laxative

[azzaro]

I don't know how Adam finds these little gems, but I very glad he found this one.

Scary looking thing, to be sure. A Frankenplane concoction that looks like a landscaping Bobcat mated with a kids Big Wheel.

But, man! Does she fly sweet! Tons of power, stable as a rock and settles to the ground like a parachute on full flaps.

I assume the speed is in kilometers so stall with full flaps, power off, is about 38 kph (24 mph).

 

And, oh yeah, there's a fully enclosed version, a partly enclosed and a floats version. Each in 2 or 3 liveries.

 

Quality work throughout. All instrumentation is on the HUD. Which I assume is projected directly on the pilots eyes since there is no windscreen or even a full visor in sight? Another nice touch is that the HUD enlarges when near the ground.

 

All in all, a delightful little machine! I think I'll be flying this one a lot! Thanks Adam. -- Bob

Yes. But with Adam's predilection for flatulence... that's an advantage! :rolleyes: --Bob

[peer01]

Yeah, the best solution so far! ;):D:)

Do you have a picture of the enclosed cockpit one? :) I'd want to be held in by more than a wire fence.

Where can I get that plane

I don't think the wire fence is to hold you in, so much as to keep blade bits from slicing through your head. :eek:

 

Here's the one enclosed cockpit shot I have for now. Not great, but it gives you an idea of how it looks.

Does that thing really exist in the real world?!

[peer01]

Looks like it's a French "thing" :D;)

[flightsimg]

Uhhhh! We, the nation who invented flying and the airplane altogether :), I can't stand such a assertion! I think it's a kind of illegitimate breeding between anything but France! :) :)

It's this one. I know it doesn't look like the one in this post but it's in among the variations. :) -- Bob
