Might have been a lot better off building that wheelbarrow. Tongue

Have you tried getting down to it in a wheelbarrow Shocked

It's a funny old do...

Hmmm....I'm gonna have to agree with Ecko on this one. Sorry mate. You are only 15, I doubt that the FAA would even certify it for manned flight. Trust me on this. I'm only 12, however I have thought about the same things. However it just is not possible for a child to do something like this. Think about it. You would have to take into consideration, how much fuel will it take, the MTOW for it, will it fly (or are we gonna have to get An-225 to install an FBW system to stabilise it), how will it fly in 1/2 scale, will the powerplants be enough to reach V2 etc. Also, no offense, but having lots of money isn't an excuse or a proper argument/reason for how you are going to build it.

Trust me.

Cheers, An-225.

Well, he didn't say he's going to start on it right now. There's nothing wrong with having a dream. This could be a long-term project. Good luck I say.

I'm afraid that when Bon_Air's amazing idea comes to fruition, (if at all?), you, (and Bon_Air), will have reached middle-age, and beyond, and I will have long been pushing up the Daisies, and converted into compost...as 'appens.... Shocked
