BD-5 or similar?

I've been to the bd-micro web site. I'm not really that serious about starting
on that sort of a project, but it sure looks like fun. Just wondering if there
are any other kits out there which are mostly aluminum and perhaps a bit more
forgiving in the air.

Thanks,

Mark

If you make the same mistakes that the people who had accidents in BD-5's
made, no kit will be any more or less forgiving. Any analysis of BD-5
accidents shows that the cause of accidents was the same type of issues that
cause accidents in other kit-built aircraft.

This is from yawn who still can't find anyone to test fly his BD-5 since
he's afraid to do it himself.

Perhaps this is why the BD-5 enjoys it's safety record. Between the
number that never really get completed and the ones the owners won't
fly, they don't crash that much :-)

How is that project coming? I heard about it and checked it out some time
ago but I haven't followed their progress...

Still better than dannyboy's penchant to hang out in newsgroups that talk
about getting naked and discussing the correct spelling of masturbation.

Get over it, dannyboy.
