Actually, if you can build a boat, you can build a Plane, if you can build a Plane, you can build a birdhouse, if you can build a boat, you can build a bookcase!...transferable skills apply...You see the WW2 B-17's? Wood and canvas just like a dmaned Adirondack canoe!
Pt Boats were plywood and 'glass...quick and dirty..About any old Eddie Punchclock or Susie Housecoat can build a boat or a Plane! During the war, they did! By the thousands! I do appreciate the hulls though, and built my own PT version, which was one fast and honest hull!...Took me all of a weekend, but what the hell? The yard was full of birdhouses, and we didnt need a B-17 or another bookcase! A guy cant have enough boats..
I'd like to build a 24' model replica of a WW2 aircraft carrier like the Hornet or the Wasp..electric powered, and launch scale model planes off the deck...like a mini Midway kind of dealie...That would be something....I could easily build an airplane even...
My Crazy Uncle Jack boatbuilder guy once did! No big deal at all!...He took some left over boat/birdhouse/bookcase scrap and an aluminum block Peugeot engine, the garage door cables, stuck a propeller on the front instead of the rear....Flew it on over to Wis across Lake Michigan to the EAA one year just for giggles! Had his Boyscout compass for the navigation system, a case of beer, and a walkie talkie!...I was only 8yrs old, but I remember these pertinant details, on account of my Cousin complained about lifting that damn heavy garage door after Church, his bicycle tires were missing...Plus, his Moms car wouldnt start and She had to walk to work for a while, and the wooden framed laundry rack and curtains had mysteriously vanished?!...
I bet I could build a damned working rocket ship If I wanted to! Elon Musk went from building electric golf carts into rockets overnight! It aint that hard! Buts whats the point? Unless theres solid gold asteroids easy to catch floating around out there? I dont like leaving this Planet and drinking my own peepee, I've tried both a time or two, and dont recommend either....Of course, with some big Govt funding? Yeah...I'll drink my own peepee out in my shop, build a dmaned rocket ship and let somebody else be the Major Tom hero!! .
Problem is, we have Levelor blinds instead of curtains around here..once I get this critical material sourced, cash the Govt check, I'm all over it...I think the Wifes little Toyota engine would do well as a primary stage booster? Heck, She can use the exercise!
