My lawn mower has better looking wheels.
Right. :-)
Looks like reinforced gear for carrier landings
Is this an actual photo of the “jet fighter” they’re trying to build up?
There are more advanced kit planes. What a cobbled together POS.
Whoever found it should give it all back to ISIS. It would kill one, perhaps two, the first time they revved it up...
Best laugh I’ve had all day!

Take off weigh

Well, if the pilot sat in the seat and made vroom vroom noises interspersed with random shouts of Aloha Snackbar, they’d probably call it good.
After a little work you could drop a quarter in and get it to rock back and forth.
Looks like a “homebuilt airplane”. Google it or Experimental Aircraft Assn. It does not look like any plans-built homebuilt that has been covered by Air Progress or Sport Aviation over the last 40 years or so. Looks like they were making it up as the went along. Looks like the wing rib was awfully far back for it to balance. Don’t think it would fly very far (maybe over the ditch at the end of the runway).
100% agree. CG is clearly too far aft. You can SEE the obvious piston engine. Looks like a crappy DIY project.
