Hard Knocks and Dirty Socks: Time to make some junk

I persume this is the sort of blog the FBI might be monitoring more closely in these perilous times.

His opening gambit is an absolute corker:

One of the biggest hurdles to starting a homebuilt airplane project is the mindset that every part you make must be “flight hardware”.

That attitude MUST DIE if you are to make any progress at all.

Whether it’s actually possible to build a fully functional flying can out of some aluminium flashing from Home Depot and some bits and bobs you find everyday in your dumpster will remain to be seen.

As it stands, the blogger in question has two posts up – one about getting a divorce and the other about getting yourself a homebuilt aeroplane.

I sincerely hopes he continues.

He’s either a wholesale genius, or having a nervous breakdown.
