Stupid things you want.

I also want one of these:

For my recent bday, I had my wife buy me an ONtario Knife Company Kukri. I have no real need for it, and it is far from something that will be used often. But for some reason I really wanted it and now have it.

There's a dealer not far away; and I thought one of these might be a good substitute for the Morgan Trike I always wanted, but - it took me about 4 minutes to get in the thing. Then it took 4 people, and about 6 minutes, to get me out. The side body wings and the steering wheel make for a space that's just too narrow for a "generously sized", older gentleman like me. Oh, well....:(

While i'm sure you are aware Morgan is back in business, i just needed an excuse to mention them again.

Their current offering is powered by a bigazz S&S V twin through a mazda gearbox.

View attachment 868487 As long as we're on the subject of stupid things we want; here's another one I've always wanted. A Beechcraft D17 Staggerwing. This thing would be an amazing plane if they started making them today - never mind 70+ years ago. I would prefer the UC-43 military version, though; bigger engine...;)

I'll see your Beech and raise you one Hyperbipie

Not quite as agile as a Pitts Special or Christian Eagle, but close.
 
Speaking of Pitts, here's a one off Model 12 built for Bryan Jenson. This vid was shot at the annual 1:1 air show put on by the R/C flying club i belong to. I don't know why it didn't make the vid, but Bryan hovered his aircraft that day. At the time it was the only 1:1 aircraft capable of hanging from the prop. Sadly, Bryan died in a crash at an airshow in KC MO a couple years after this vid was shot.

 
Absolutely nothing, my AC exploded a week ago and had to replace it and 3 days ago my phone got stolen, I have no money for useless things this year regardless of my love for nonsensical stuff because I'm also planning to save up money to record a few songs.
