KR> Can this plane be fixed?

[laser147 at juno.com]

The whole top half has come apart from the bottom.  It appears to have
just fallen off.  It's just lying there on the ground next to the plane. 
Tornado?  Vandalism?  A real mystery.  

The plane says "Experimental" on it so clearly the builder was
experimenting with something to keep the top half of the plane connected
to the bottom half and it must not have worked very well.   Seems to have
just fallen off!  I think a tornado would have carried it some distance. 


The builder did a very nice paint job.  Very consistent and businesslike.
 Clearly the builder had a professional painter do the work.   No swirley
stuff.   

I think there's some good ideas incorporated into this experimental
design but clearly it needs some reliable way to keep the top half
attached to the bottom.

Yep, an experiment gone terribly right. I hear that aft deck was tested 
to 245 mph, despite doubts that a thin piano hinge and some number 4 
wood screws would hold it "at any speed".  Maybe this is what happened 
when it landed after that flight...

The whole top half has come apart from the bottom.  It appears to have just
fallen off.  It's just lying there on the ground next to the plane. 
Tornado?  Vandalism?  A real mystery.  

The plane says "Experimental" on it so clearly the builder was experimenting
with something to keep the top half of the plane connected
to the bottom half and it must not have worked very well.   Seems to have
just fallen off!  I think a tornado would have carried it some distance.

but clearly it needs some reliable way to keep the top half
attached to the bottom.

It seems obvious to me someone removed the aft deck and laid it on the
grass. Everything in the picture looks good. I have the same design and am
glad to hear it will be fine at 245 mph since I don't plan to exceed 135
mph.

KR> Can this plane be fixed

[Oscar Zuniga]

It turns out that this post is about 5 weeks early.  Every year on April Fools 
Day, Langford concocts a bogus post and about half the people on the list freak 
out.  He could have posted the turtleshell photo saying that he had the 
airplane out on the apron while doing some spring cleaning and a microburst 
from a passing thunderstorm blew the thing off.  He'll come up with something 
though.

Oscar got in ahead of me. The first thing I thought of when I saw the tail 
number was April fools day and had to check to see that Mark didn't post it
