10 years
of trying to find the perfect plane and trying to learn the
most daring maneuvers had left me frustrated, bored, and
PLANE POOR. Still, when I first watched a Pizza Box
Flyer (PBF) fly I just had to try one. They certainly
looked simple enough to build and really a blast to fly.
I grabbed the first sign off the street that I was bold
enough to take and went to work that night. A few days
later, after a trip to Home Depot, some time searching thru
my misc. parts boxes and a little creative rigging, I was
ready to give it a try. After a few props and exciting
moments I could actually keep it in the air and almost get
it where I wanted it to be. Turns out my stolen sign
was only 18x24 (as most are), not the 24x24 size a little
research convinced me I should have used. To make a
long story short, about 20 tries later and many trips to
collect the right parts, I still haven’t found the perfect
airplane, but I have found the one that is the most fun I
have ever had. This plane will do some truly amazing
things and when you make a mistake it is not a tragedy but a
comedy. |
