Graphic by Billie

Water Bird

I built her from a crate of parts,
That filled up my garage.
Piles of tubes with nuts, and bolts,
Would be the fuselage.
Another pile of tubes and wire,
With fabric made the wings.
The engine and propeller on,
Would make this baby sing.
A hull made out of fiberglass,
Made sure she floated high.
On concrete she could use her wheels,
In seconds she could fly.
She wasn't fast like other birds,
But she was such a blast.
I miss my little water bird,
She was my first, not last.

Sounds like you had as much fun building it as flying it! Good match with the graphic! If ya fly that low, I might be okay with it...might be.

Oh no! Dead stick landings, (prop not turning), on the beach should be made parallel to the surf line unless I raise the wheels. Ouch this is gonna leave a mark.

Just kidding. I like what yall did with N106DF. Conspiracy Guy's ultimate testament to his faith in the Good Lord. If I built it and flew it I had Faith!

Pinging self for earmarking
