"I think I can ....I think I can....


I know I can...I know I can...."

I always loved this little homebuilt..

😍👀

Lol i imagine trying to build this thing myself and having it all kinda fall apart in some goofy and embarassing looney toons manner the moment i hit the runway

[TheNavalAviator]

This thing's conceptually a He-162

“Poor man” is a term that’s used loosely here. Lol! I’m poor …. Mooney Poor.

[Steyr]

Looks like a lot of fun, gives you that fighter jet experience in a way many VLJs can't

[chillwillracing]

30 gallons an hour deleted the poor man's part. I would only be able to fly it once a month.

This looks like Ann excellent candidate for composite construction.

If you get the fab just right you'd have a light jet that weighs about the same as a motorcycle, with a high G-limit. Sell those for $250k a pop. I'd take one over a Ferrari any day.

That sounds like a great mission to me! “Buzz the sky for an hour or two”

[Kay__]

shame thats theres so few of these flying, adorable little jet

[gelnat]

It looks like a modified version of the BD-5.

[invisiblerevolution]

that little engine made that thing FLY

[kenreynolds]

Very like the BD-5J “Widow Maker” but cheaper

[josephmistretta]

Yeah every poor man can afford a $150, 000 jet, and that $180.00 an hour gas bill is no problem either.

😂, imma name mine "THE DARWIN "... a human bullet !!.. hold mt beer 🍺🍻😂

[PbpLOL]

Better off bring a L39 for $320k then a garage built mini turbine “jet”

[bro_duck]

That's not a jet, that's a joke. Looks straight out of Phineas and Ferb

[AlChemicalLife]

150grand is poor mans ?? Dang, im homeless at that point. Thats a little over half my yearly pay BEFORE taxes ( those taxes get ya man, high way robbery imo)

[marka]

It's much easier to just have a $150, 000 funeral.

[Electronzap]

Not bad, we should be able to fly to work with those.

[zuluonbass]

Looks like the coors beer mini jet from the 80’s
