While we are on the subject of powered planes, I will offer the following philosophical dissertation. If you are a mugwump, you might want to consider the following, which just might push you off that fence separating your recreational woodworking from your professional engineering.

Plane Crazy, for significant stress relief.

>I think I would definately get stress relief. If I tried to fly a plane that I threw together in that amount of time, I would probably wake up dead. Of course, that would mean no stress right? ;-)

>It was a joke. What "plane" to buy? airplane. My parents have this collection of ancient stuff- among it a Taylorcraft- which my mother flies in the same way she drives the apartment garbage wagon- nose to the windscreen and fumbling for her glasses. And it's not OT- it's a wooden prop in need of varnish, and has to be hand swung.

Justin- safely a continent and an ocean away

>It's a giant chisel, something between plane and chisel. Not that it's something I can afford right now; but if I were to get a $350 bonus burning a hole in my pocket...
