But at least these guys built and raced it, as "he" never has -- and they did it without a propellor as "he" might have tried.

Maybe I shouldn't make these comments -- it's been quiet in the incoming junk mail box recently.  I wonder what "he" will find to talk about.  All of you:  Please get ready to feel sorry for me when I get compared to the peel of a banana or whatever "he'll" come up with this time.

Nothing in todays junk mail, maybe he pulled the flopster out of the shed of wonders and is trying to put a lawn chair on it. Well maybe not, he would have to turn it around as well as the prop to make it a puller and it would have rear wheel steering, should be fun to watch though. :evil:

Dave Cox has some work cut out for  him to get his couch up to speed.  That looked a little more like a big chair not a couch!!  :cheers:
