   hahaha, oh man this is great. Everyone complained about the single seating for both pilots on the IRL factory one, so their solution is to….widen the slim and sexy fuselage and jam in you and a bro ass-to-antlers like this?

   “So it’s uglier?” Yup.

   “It’s heavier?” Yup.

   “It’s not period correct?” Yup.

   “But you CAN give each other handjobs, isn’t that so much better?”

     See? It’s this easy. Just get pretty girls in non-distracting outfits, a handsome pilot, and sell people on the fantasy of owning a plane. Pretend it’s not you sneaking a cooler and cookies abord and watching movies for 6-hour legs, but you snuggling up on a ski-resort trip to some leggy model girl

     Also it’s quite silly how they offer a full corrugated metal plane in colors like “papaya metallic” Last one is supposedly in the white alum, but still

     They do have this one, too, if you wanna LARP as a 30’s airmail pilot addicted to amphetamines

     Hmmm….which would you rather have? Can buy two of those german LSAs for one of these aerobatics: (maybe 3)

     @Granwalder Homage to an interwar trainer, gotta ape the classics. We’re lucky the krauts are even doing THAT. They’re normally so history averse.

     Gotta say if they remake the Messy 108 I would actually want it enough to save up for one.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Granwalder But is there a reason it was originally corrugated?

     @wgiwf @Granwalder GERMAN PRECISION

     Actually the fords had that too back then. It was a way to add strength in the metal. They probably had some issues w/ stamping it as clean and smooth anyways, and they didn’t yet know how much performance loss they’d incur with it.

     At the time it was wild enough to not use fabric and wood

     @Heil_Honkler Try building one you like: https://gamecomposites.com/configure/

     FWIW this thing is the result of Walmart money, so be happy we get something fun from them

     @WashedOutGundamPilot tiger striping is aesthetic but needs some white in there. Green white black one is nice too.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Awesome! I can't afford the plane or a mailbag though. I blew the budget on other components already.

     @monsterislandcolonizer The game bird is a hoot, aerobatic so you can REALLY dance w/ it. There are actually a lot more aircraft that can play than you’d think. I know someone going thru the ACA (or whatever) and the sportsman routine is actually pretty achievable. A number of light aircraft on the market that can handle +4, even +6 G’s at the right loading

     If I have the money I could see myself doing light aerobatics w/ the kids

     @monsterislandcolonizer A fren worked out the math once and flying was more dangerous, like 20x deadlier than a car, while the moto is only 13x.

     A bunch of caveats though, really incompatible working the numbers so there’s a lot of squish either way

     @monsterislandcolonizer It bears out IRL, everyone at work (me too) knows a bunch of dead people, but my moto friends only have 1 and he died decades ago.

     I like both, because it’s much easier to park your bike in the hangar when you leave. Can’t do that w/ a car, most apts get pissy about it.

     @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum That’s light sport regs for you. Max 600 kg, though the FAA is revamping it so we should be getting a weight increase. If it passes, a lot of light planes will get an immediate bump up to maybe 15/1600 lbs, because that’s their current limitation, just unspoken in the interest of repecting the legal limit
