How to build my own Boeing 747 ? ? ? ? ?

[Bruno Beam]

I tried to buy one, but they were a little bit too expensive.

But I want to start my own airline and need a 747.Can I buy a
budget-747 with wood and some old parts?

Start by cutting down the biggest redwood tree you can find, then
build a lathe and start turning. 50 gallons of redwood oil and 30
gallons of spar varnish should make that baby shine. You might be
able to find wings from an old Barling bomber to finish it.

What percent completion are you?

too bad you had that printer failure right before printing the layout

Snuggle up with your local airway CEO. One of the museums in The Netherlands
(Aviodrome at Lelystad) just bought one fully functional from KLM for 1
Euro. They initially wanted to fly it into Lelystad (EHLE), but the runway
was too narrow...

You'll have to promise to only fly it outside rural areas..

You better have some damned good wood to pleasure Darlene Druyun well enough
that she'd give you a 747....
oh wait a sec....she's not with Boeing, is she...

....so what are the old parts for?

I should have read the plans better back when I first got them. I've
had a .006% complete GNIEOB 474 in my hangar for the last eight years.

I never completed the eight tiny rotax powered sleigh either.

It's not all that hatd to build a full scale
747. Just get some steel woll and knit
