I am very A.D.D. I can't focus on one task for to long, so I end up working on 20 things at once. It keeps me going without getting board.
Earlier this year I built this heavy lifting bomber for a golf ball drop contest.
it was a great plane, and was able to carry 30 golf balls at once. But anyway, my dad said it looking like a Barbie bus with wings. Somehow that name stuck and everyone was calling it "The Barbie Bus". I crashed it at the fun fly (epically I might add) and everyone was bummed. At that moment I vowed to build a new one, but even more Barbie, and way more Bus!
Hence my current project, The Barbie Bus II. It's a 144" wing on a giant school bus. It will be equipped with a giant bomb bay, and will para-drop 6 Barbie dolls out the bottom.
I've been working off and on it for a while, but am on the home stretch now so expect it to fly sooner than later.
Part of the reason it's taken so long is it barely fits in the house.
Once it's done though it should be a show stopper. Here’s one last shot, you know... just for fun.
when I told her it would drop Barbie dolls with parachutes, her response was priceless.
me: and they will drop out of the bottom.
her: but what if they land in the pond?
me: well what if I get my own bardies, and don't use yours?
her: well I guess that would be okay, and then if you don't lose them you can give them to me.
