It's been done before. Do you know who Darryl Greenamyer is?
[FONT=Verdana, Arial][SIZE=-1]Interestingly a Starfighter - built from non-serviceable ex-military aircraft components by American Darryl Greenamyer over a ten-year period - was without doubt the fastest and most complex "homebuilt" aircraft ever completed. With this aircraft - known as the Red Baron F-104RB Starfighter - he raised the world speed record over a 3km low-level course to 1,590.45km/h on 24 October 1977. Unfortunately the F-104RB was lost in an accident in 1978.[/SIZE][/FONT]

You might be on to a good idea Darrell! "That's what golf needs...a little body checkin"

I remember reading an article in (I think) Popular Mechanics magazine when Greenamyer first broke the low altitude speed record in his homebuilt Starfighter. He spent a long time scavenging the parts from all over the country to complete the aircraft. Since the law prevented him from buying a whole airplane, (F-104's were still in service at the time) he had to aquire it piecemeal and build it himself.
