"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble." ~Shakespeare
For what ever reason that seems to capture my current state in time. Its been nothing short of another example of extreme IT engineering with this project. With adequate time and dedicated effort/focus this would seem like a cake walk. But with the sky falling, projects piling, fires burning, and only 24hours in a day, this is more of a cluster...k. But if Macgvyer can construct an airplane out of bamboo, what do I have to complain about. With so many ways to skin a cat, I offer up this small nugget of joy.....
This was done with everything that was already on-hand.
But just for laughs here is a list of items to build your our bamboo airplane, THAT REALLY FLYS, in theory ;-P

Disclaimer: These number, as of 2011-03-17 , are very very rough and just what I could find in less than 20 minutes. I'll also concede it may be missing additional components, but most can be correlated to the diagram above.
~Enjoy
