Now, what a minute! What's not to like? It has GOT to be light... in fact, I see no "N" number so it must be an ULTRAlight ;D

All that is lacking on that thang is to cover the bailing wire fram with ducktape.<br><br>Does it have a name or should we have a naming contest for it. It looks like a cross of a grasshopper and a locus, lets say....locohopper ::) ;D ;D<br><br>Shawn

It looks more like something to transport your mother-inn law with. Obviously, she would site in the back where there is better ventilation and exhaust fumes. ;D

Actually that is pretty neat in an ugly sort of way. *It has a frame instead of fiberglass. *Looks like a mosquito with that kind of windsheild and frame stance. *Call it the stinger or something? *As much as you might not like it's looks, parked at the airport - that is the one people are going to walk up to and ask about.... *Never seen anything quite like that.....<br><br>Imagine how that would look if/when they covered the frame and put the cowl on. It would really look different. The tail snaking back up to the rotor mast. Interesting...... jtm

It reminds me of something, Dick DeGraw would build. I think it looks fine. I am more attracted to function than beauty - hence my love affair with Dominators. The tail bracing is a bit ugly but who cares? You can't see it while your flying!

I tried to make a post with Mr. Degraws name and it came up as thingy. So what the ****? Are we too sensitive to read words like dick?

A couple days ago, I uttered a common (and by Army standards, mild) oath here, and found that it became d--n or something. <br><br>At first I was a mite peeved, then I realised that in a lot of cases barrack-room language does NOT help. It's almost as if freedom to express those simple and earthy concepts found in swears, stifles the ability to express anything else. <br><br>Anyway, it's your forum... do as you like. But I can live with the language nanny.<br><br>cheers<br><br>-=K=-

I'd rather read or type the language than figure out criptic phrases like "Go Pound Salt." Loses meaning when it takes time. I like a good F--k Y-u every now and agian, especially if it's well deserved.<br><br>My two cents-<br><br>
