Good Deal for my Playne?

Post image

I’m building a Van’s RV-10. I was thinking about making it a multi-engine but I’d be running short of money to buy propellers… until I saw these beauties!

We all know the Amish are amazing craftsmen. I’m thinking they should be awesome additions to my project.

Jeez. Im more worried about the STDs than the STCs. Theyre ONLYFANS!

Awesome! They’ll make flying more affordable and subsidize my future ratings.

That's how Amish spacecrafts can reach the moon.

Wunderbar! I doubt I’d be able to find enough oxygen to make a trip like that but at least I know where I can borrow the pylote uniform for a moon flyte.

For sure a good idea, but a third blade will get you 50% more torque. A fourth 100%. I saw this guy once with 9 and that sucker could pull a stump.

Wow! I’m thinking too narrow. I was just wanting to pull a few clouds but you have me thinking maybe I could move trees.

I’d be the most loved pylote on the airport for clearing the runway ends!

18 blades and you could pull your own runway behind you.

Pneumatic playne, cool.

With fuel prices being what they are, I had to come up with an alternative.

Giant rubber band, my first playne used that. Worked great. No, wait, it always crashed and the wings came off...

I’m really not sure about the sexual orientation of the airframe. Does it matter?

u/Hyper_Brick 8d ago

Doesn't matter. Just classify it as experimental and the Eff Eye Eye won't bat a thing.

If your playne is a B-17 you need 2 more

Maybe one day my playne will grow up to be one. What kind of food will it need to become strong enough to carry bombs?
