"Looks like it'll make it all the way to the crash site."

Dud!!!!.Black lives matter!!....just saying

[EvilCapitalist]

He’s going to need a new propeller.

I don’t know what that wood is in the wings, but there is a lot of it. He MAY have to be going 90 mph to fly. I wonder what it weighs?

[Clay Moore]

I hate to tell him this but taking off is the easy part. Landing is the hard part unless you have a long runway.

[EvilCapitalist]

He’ll never get off the ground. See the youtube video at post 15.

[liberalh8ter]

I like it....I wouldn't fly in it but I like it. Hope he intends to install the prop because if he doesn't, that fiance is going to be left standing at the altar.

[tophat9000]

Looking at that airplane he build in the photo...

This man deserves an honorary redneck status if he survives....

or at least an “hold my beer” award if he doest

[Blood of Tyrants]

He should get a large life insurance policy first and put his fiancee as the beneficiary.

[FourPeas]

I hope both his flight and his marriage are amazing successes and are remembered happily for generations to come.

[Covenantor]

A landing is inevitable. The manner of landing presents many potential outcomes. Walking away while whistling a jaunty air is highly desireable.

Denver flew his own jet.

[MistrX]

What possibly could go wrong?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

When I applied for life insurance, one of the questions was whether or not I participated in general aviation. A truthful answer on his part might make premiums prohibitive.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I don’t know if it will take off but if it does landing is a certainty.

[twister881]

New engine with twice the HP + “pilot” with 0 hours of flight time who attempts to solo on his FAM-1 = torque roll crash on takeoff.

What do you call a fiancee whose future husband kills himself?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I thought Denver flew a kit. He died due to pilot error, or carelessness, depending on how you wish to characterize it. There was no mechanical failure involved. RIP.

[Chickensoup]

I admire this guy and his don’t quit can do attitude.

I think JD flew a Long EZ. It had some kind of fuel problem if I remember correctly.
