Would like to know if it worked,570 hrs build time is not all time consuming.

The good news is he probably won't die of hunger.

Let's be honest he was going to fly to his wedding.
I am sure he was about to get into the plane and she said "It is time to knock it off with this childish nonsense. Now put your toys away and go clean up my parents are coming over."

wife wouldn't let him fly in it since it didn't have a chute.

He's still a strong competitor for my Samuel P. Langley award for failure to achieve flight in a most spectacular fashion.
