I poste this video in RAH, thn thought some in RAP might find it
iteresing. *That second plane looks a lot like the bumblebee,
maybe

even smaller. *Would any of you fly it?

That's Ray Stits' Skybaby. It's in the EAA museum AFAIK. I think
it still holds the smallest airplane ( wingspan) record. there
were a few homebuilders that got involved in a ****ing contest for
the smallest aroun
d
that time.
He said it was a handful to fly. You can see that on the takeoff.
One of the biggest problems it had was the ASI didn;'t work worth
a damn because it wasn't possible to get the pitot far enough away
from the prop wash..

Hey Bertie why didn't you build one of these:

Saw the first one at OSH many years ago. Pretty cool machine. There's
at least one that flew with two model airplane jet engines! There's
another youtube clip somewhere of one doing some low level
aerobatics.- Hide quote

How cool is that, eh? IIRC the takeoff roll is very long, but once it's
up and going it's fine.
