Whoa nelly. That is major scary. Looks a bit like a Zenith CH-750 after somebody flew it into a barn or maybe a downsized "Flight of the Phoenix" type of affair .I think the front wheel and strut might need a minor tweek. I hope he puts in a lot of time at 10 foot altitude getting the feel of it if it manages to get that high. Kudos for the guy for inspiration and effort but boy, it looks like an accident loooking for a place to happen.I couldn't tell in the video but I hope the builder has had a little bit of flight training. Doubt if that would go far in preparing you for being a test pilot though. :o :o ~^ ~^ ~^

The prop looks like a Zinger copy. When it crashes, I predict that Toyota will get the blame.   DK^    Steve

Interesting....it may actually fly....for a few . I sure would not fly in it though.
As for the first person that posted a response. I think he needs to rewatch the video. The wing is not annhedral.
It's sitting on the ground and the struts look to float.
I'm sure once it's moving it will have diahedral. Hopefully the struts will not let go.

It is said it is to carry 2 people. I think one is the pilot and one is the undertaker.

How far will the Toyota engine fly?   All the way to the scene of the crash.

This is obviously the result of going to Brodaks Junk Yard Wars. I saw pictures of this plane at Brodaks, only it had a Fox 35 on it then. Now we see the full scale job. They need Joe Gilbert to do the test flight.

Weighs as much as a Cessna 150, so they say, (800kg). Wonder how much power the Toyoty engine puts out.
