Build a car? Nah, build a plane...
This chap makes me grin, he's very much a realist both with his bodybuilding videos and his engineering videos. The idea of building a car is
complex, but building a plane seems to be taking it too far for me

Come on... Mark Evans did it almost 10 years ago...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Plane_Is_Born
Not as much fun as "A Car Is Born", "A Race Car is Born", "A Car is Reborn"... But a lot better that the
"Wreck Rescues" he did lately.

Never heard of it, sorry. That said, i've no doubt it's been done before, I'm just pointing out someone I know of who's doing
it out of interest, rather than as a TV series.
I rarely watch TV, never have, it's almost all chaff anyway.

 Thanks for the comments guys, for once I thought I'd found something completely new and unheard of before.....<sarcastically rolls
eyes>. Never mind, it's clearly not interesting at all.

There are, literally, thousands of garage built planes in the US; not so many over here.
If you build the right plane in the US, you do not need a Pilot's License!
I even have a set of plans for sale on my web site:

Well I think it's OK chap Makes a change from all these steroid munching meatheads. at least the guy is willing to give something for free
which is very rare these days 
Be interesting to see how the build goes.
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......
