    Did you say "Ok, then can I have a gyro?"

    Hmm. Ugly and the most boring name ever. Wonder why it wasn't a hit?!

    Yep, experimental Otter. This article explains. https://torontoaviationheritage.ca/dehavilland-canada-stol/#!

    Update - looks like it happened during tow https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-29/tas-glider-crash-was-during-launch-phase/106184430

    Passenger killed, pilot seriously injured. Not much more detail yet. Tasmanian woman dies in glider crash at Tunbridge, pilot airlifted to Royal Hobart Hospital - ABC News WWW.ABC.NET.AU A woman has died and a man has been taken to hospital following a glider crash at a private airfield in Tasmania.

    Well, not ALL the problems... It ditches valves, most of the gearbox, has lower torque twist and vibration. Plus the presenter kept it interesting. Not sure how many pilots would want to fly behind a Knob though. Someone didn't do their "does this name mean something rude in English" check.

    I like it. Seems like less to go wrong.

    Garmin Emergency Autoland deployed for the first time | Flightradar24 Blog WWW.FLIGHTRADAR24.COM Garmin autoland was deployed for the first time in an emergency, safely landing Beech B200 Super King Air N479BR in Denver. Details a bit thin, but apparently it worked - good to see

    Thought it may have been "Das Ugly Stik" - older RC builders may remember that plane

    It would be worth getting one of those just to be able to say "I fly an F-15"

    Could have been very bad.

    They're just unnatural. Never seen a bird with a tail at the front.

    For example Tail end of a winged keel (ie 1.5m of 100mm uPVC filled with FCR) I made for a homemade sailboat competition last year. Whole thing has warped sideways as well as the "wings" now warped.

    PLA is extruded around 190-230 degrees (I use 200) and I've seen printed products left outside warp from normal sunlight. Definitely wouldn't be using anything made of PLA in a warm place. Even dishwasher parts at 60% infill warp in heat and pressure.
