Since we are on the subject of flying.............back in the early '80s I built part of this in my living room. It had an 18hp engine, cruised about 30 (on a good day) and stalled around 18-20mph. It was slow and fun. Lots of fun...............had 3 inflight engine shutdowns, first time my bad ran out of juice, second time centrifugal clutch flew apart and last time spark plug went south.........and that is why most my flying was around the dirt strip.
