Made in Cambodia: What Could Possibly Go Wrong With This Homemade Airplane?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

For the image, not for me.

I used to be employed by a toy airplane company. I was catching a ride home once from the Mongolian desert. We crashed and had to build a single engine plane before bandits killed us.

I can confirm this plane could fly.
Because of your familiarity with 'navier-stokes' no doubt.
(flow around submerged objects and all that)

just sayin'

Just common sense I guess.

If a 747 weighs half a million kilos and can fly, why can't this when it's much lighter?

We had to turn the two engine plane into a single engine. Because I had only worked on toy airplanes I nearly got electrocuted in storm, but pilot pushed me off plane with seconds to spare.

It was also hard working on the plane with little water.

If they do turn my life story into a movie I'll let you know about it.
You mean like the 1965 cult classic "Flight of the Phoenix "?

A brick will fly, given the right amount of energy.

A lotus macao channel all time favorite this one.
Recently learned that it was a remake and a badly criticized one too while the original movie is almost considered as a master piece. I downloaded it but fell asleep around the 10' mark twice already.
