     Illegally? Why? Not certified or what?

i think it was a case of (ill double check tho and amend as appropriate!) not certified, not licensed, no flying licence for the pilots, made outv non aero structural materials (i dont think scaffold tube is usually used for wing spars or crates to make skis!?) i noted down the label text, ill dig it out and post it up too

...is it just me or is there something vaguely 'Flight of the Phoenix' about it too???

cheers, Joe

That first installment has a certain Brian Da Basher look to it.
