Damn! This thing is a bargain
 
With the way the engine is mounted you'd think there would be HUGE trim changes when you adjust power

Auto pitch up for takeoff and go arounds? :)

Auto pitch down for power off... that one could bite ya. :)
 
Daaaaaaaaaamn.

I say we form a PoA flying club to buy it, and then shuttle between the strip and the lake at Gaston's and KY Dam.

Looked like it would have a lever arm to pull the nose up to me. Heck if I can tell though. Just a guess. Looked quite a way above the CG so big lever.
 
I’m sure that boat has a secret hatch in the hull, mini submarines and a hold to transport stolen atomic bombs. You can tell just by looking at it this guy is up to no good.
 
Some of you people think you are sooooooo funny. :D

The plane is actually a submarine and the hull of the ship opens up and swallows it right in.
