http://www.oshkosh365.org/ok365_DiscussionBoardTopic.aspx?id=1235&boardid=147&forumid=175&topicid=5661 I guess even EAA is 'on-board' with this, so that makes me the abstainer. After watching this, it is no small wonder that homebuilt airplanes get bad press. I admire the guy's tenacity, but the bottom line is that he needs to learn how to golf or something. IMHO. This is a far cry from something like a KR2 or any other proven design, but this guy got all sorts of TV coverage, etc., for taking part of his house, part of his fence, part of the nearby metal storage building and cobbling together an abomination. Sorry, EAA, I just don't like this video. He has the spirit, lacks the training, and perhaps EAA is right, and he needs to get to Oshkosh or find a CFI before he kills himself and his friends and neighbors. My "rub" is that the abomination is being covered as a homebuilt, not as an abomination. (No, Martha, I DON'T know what I would call it other than "homebuilt" but there MUST be *something* that we can assign to stuff like this.) It is no small wonder that Julie has "issues" with certain "homebuilt" aircraft. After seeing this video, I'd run for cover too!!! D.
