Hmmmm, I seem to remember reading something somewhere about "Life, Liberty
and the Pursuit of Happiness". Something about inalienable rights?

Seems to me that these guys are living up to exactly that. And you're just
envious because you, for whatever reason, cannot.

Good for them, and **** you.

Damn.

You know you're into the edges when your "scale model" plane is heavier
than some legal *piloted* flying machines.

(Some guy built a C-130 on about the same scale, which would do LAPES or
paradrops...)

Very nice. My only question is... will it drop anything?

Yep, the balance in the builder's checking account!!

If you tell me their next project is a scale MOAB, I'm going to be scared.

MOAB's too big for a BUFF's bomb bay, isn't it?

Some friends of mine have, for years, been holding an informal "Siege
Engine Competition" to see how far one may propel a standard
twelve-ounce beer can. I idly suggested once that one ought to build a
tenth-scale B-52 and load it with a couple cases. Not being much of a
mathemetician, I have no idea what the payload of a tenth-scale BUFF
would be, though.

Instead of an "Arc Light" strike, it'd be "Bud Light"...

I suspect so, however, one can be slung under the wing pylon.

I think it's a war crime to use Bud Light. Something about chemical
warfare maybe.

Neat! I want to use those engines for a scale ME-262.

you can buy a 737-100 from Mojave, slap a cockpit on top and there ya go, a

Um, I think he just mighta meant less than 1:1 ) What scale would that 727
make it?
