Experimental Aircraft

Cobb County Sport Aviation Complex

On it's third take off "attempt" The best flight has been about the same as the Wright brothers 100 years ago, 120 feet distance & 6 feet off the deck.

It needs more work but it will fly someday.

There is a group nearby that is building a full scale 22ft/7m diameter two seater version.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Greetings Earthlings...

Someday you will discover the secret like we did...

But seriously though... How did you fit a 135mm EF lens onto your G2 to take this picture?

Yikes. Better the model than the 2-seater version...

This picture was taken and uploaded Wednesday, Oct 1, 2003. Today, Friday Oct 3, 2003 another take off was attempted. The plane lifted beautifully from the ground, made a very nice stable left hand turn at about 30 feet (10m) altitude and then nosed directly into the ground. The plane is a complete and total loss. Sad day!
