That's the scary part
I would still be enough of a sucker to buy it
Well it's currently sitting on a lawn. So lawn art?

I was going to say a mistress, but this might be valid competition.
The Fly Baby is a great design. Unfortunately, most are not built strictly to the plans, which pisses off the designer.
Would NOT take that up. There are multiple opportunities for epic failure.
this sounds incredibly dangerous and may result in my death. COUNT ME IN!
I'm gonna make sure my schedule is clear for the $2019 Challenge Air Race class.
