The beast will fly

[Shok]

Another product of my retarded hobby.

Only took me 5 months to finish it!
Test flight tomorrow.....will make pretty confetti...hope not lol

Weighs about 21 pounds, has a 100 inch wingspan, powered by a 1.6 cubic inch twin cylinder 4 stroke engine with a 17 inch propeller...(hello fingers) :unsure: and an onboard ignition system, and a custom machined nosegear strut with working shock absorber!

Barely fits in the Tahoe.

In the last pic you can kinda see the detail inside, it has all the seats like the real one and is all cloth covered.

That is very cool Shokster! :okthumb:

[Shok]

thanks man, next project is a turbine powered jet.

I have to get a waiver for the insurance carrier though, incase it crashes and sets fire to my town. :unsure:

[Billy]

I just do NOT see how you are going to fit inside of it !!

Plus when you go to Vegs where to you put the drinks
and the peanuts ??

Just wondering

[Shok]

I sit on top ;)

Peanut dispenser is on the bottom

[Peaches]

Are you going to hire KC to fly it for you? :P

I want one!! :okthumb:

[clemsontiger]

OH OH, Can I have one?!?! :P

[Billy]

I think that might be a little more then KC can handle !

[Shok]

it only took me about 7 years to learn to fly these without decapitating a spectator or making a very expensive lawn dart. :P

[gigi]

My son Reece would absolutely LOVE that! He is an airplane junky at only 2 years old...hehe

That is VERY kewl Shok!

[Shok]

That is one expensive dildo !!!!

But to each his own................... :yowsa:


Seriously..... Very cool Shok !!!

I never got past the Cox trainer models (string attached, plane held together with rubber bands so that when you crashed it fell apart instead of breaking)......... Always been fascinated by the big RC ones but never had the money or time to get real invoolved........

[Shok]

Yeah the cost sucks.

I used to do reviews in model magazines in the early 90's so luckily manufacturers would send me tons of free stuff so I would buil and do reviews, I still have alot of stuff left over.

Plus since Ebay came around, you can always find stuff for about a quarter of what it was brand new.

[Kittyfuzz]

Way cool! But where do you fit the sexy flight attendant? :D

[PornoDoggy]

That is very cool ... but I've heard that can become an obsession.

[BradShaw]

Your wife let you out of the house yet? Or you still flying that around the living room?

Kick your friend Tom in the ass to come out to Cali and pick these things up. :awinky:

Otherwise Im gonna build a wind vane out of them.

[Shok]

Yeah it can become obsessive, I know guys that put 25k or more into these things, crazy!


Want to come fly Brad?
I forgot Im going to a chili cookoff tomorrow, how about Sunday?
I bet I can get you addicted :P

[Shok]

Im trying Im trying lol

anyone in Cali want to buy some well used jets? :rolleyes:

[gregtx]

nice Shok...

one of my old neighbors used to teach people to fly those things down at Texas A&M... hes got like 10 of those things in his garage including a turbine F-16...

we've got some funny videos of they guys on the street all building and learning to fly them.. its not easy... fishing is a much more inexpensive hobby..

[Trev]
