  • I hate to say this, and I hope it doesn't happen, but I think you will die in that thing.

  • I would not fly in it in the first place! I did not even get involved in the building of it. If I had then it would have had more than childs plastic bicycle wheels on it!

    It has been scrapped now, the owner is building another one.

  • It did fly, but was not very stable. After about 2 hours flying time it was scrapped - time for the next design!

  • Yes it has flown, but needs some more modification. As it is a 2 axis machine, the rudder needs to be about 50% bigger than it is now.

    It is now being flown from a 800 meter tarmac runway - just for a bit more safety.

  • Fantastic.

  • Very neat but very dangerous man,seriously you can build an better one 

  • so did it fly?

  • That looks like a flying bathtub

  • Thats a nice machine. The flea was a good design. People mock and insult what they don't understand. I don't think the rudder is the biggest issue though. I think it's the angle of incidence needing to be greater. I had a similar issue and the problem was that there is a speed where your rudder isn't effective and the tailwheel is to sensative. Taller gear fixed my problem, of course that's after I increased the ruder, changed the weight and ballance, changed prop. 1 inch taller and fixed

  • This may not have worked out in the long run but it shows great balls and the effort was fantastic.

    All power to your joystick mate.

  • the thing didnt even take off i watched tat for noting

  • That's probably the ugliest thing to have ever flown, but I really support the effort of building your own plane

  • That's a deathtrap if I've ever seen one. Dude, I'm glad you scrapped that design.
