om... I've never seen the movie so I can't answer your question. What I have seen is this question come up time and time again so a search of the archives is probably in order. Yup. 34 times (now). Rich S.

It never flew, and it was never intended to fly. The Lazair answer pops up because it's the only twin engine, high wing, tractor ultralight that anyone can think of. When you mentioned the "Lazair" that threw me because it was my understanding that the "one-off plane" never actually flew as well... One that runs on whiskey and can be foot launched might just come back into fashion someday... By the way, N!xau, who appeared as the Kalahari Bushman Xixo in both films and several spin offs (like 1994's "Fei zhou chao ren" - The Gods Must Be Funny in China) died last year. The movies made him - in his terms - a wealthy man, with a brick house big enough for his family (three wives and many children) with electricity and his own well. His real name was G!kau, but a transcription error in the credits on the first film resulted in the unintentional stage name. Didn't kneaux that either, thanks...
