Don't have a copy, but saw it on TV. The only good thing I saw was the people that make the 2nd kit. I don't remember their name, but it was a baby Jungmiester, I think. They have a 1st class operation, but the guy putting on the documentry wasn't. It was more about his ego, & less about homebuilding. By the way, he didn't build & fly a plane in 30 days, even with 2 tries & a lot of help the 2nd time. A real waste of time & someone's money, except for the 2nd kit mfg's time & patience shown in 2nd try. Not a typical "homebuilder", according to ones I have met & read aboutJohn D________________________________________________________________________________

I never saw it but I heard about it. The second plane was a VW powered Youngsterbiplane by Fisher Aero (Mike Fisher, Ohio). It is a cute looking little plane,but not related to the Jungmiester. Fisher Aero no longer exists, their productline has been acquired by Fisher Flying Products (http://www.fisherflying.com).Dean DaytonTXTdragger(at)aol.com wrote:> Don't have a copy, but saw it on TV.

I taped the program, hoping it would be worth keeping to show mydisbelieving friends that some people really do build their own airplanes.However, this show was just an ego-fest for the Bob Cringly (the host), andillustrated a dangerous lack of forethought and planning on his part whichin NO WAY represents me or anybody I've ever talked to who are involved inhomebuilts. It was a waste of my perfectly good video tape and I'll surelytape over the show. Don't waste your time looking for a copy.Bob Cox> -----Original Message-----

Thanks Ken. I'll watch then pass it on.I found an article about it in an old Kitplane mag from last year. The guywho starred in the video has built 2 or 3 other planes. Though he said ittook him 18 months on average to build the other aircraft. I guess thepresure of building in 30 days was to much.GY-----Original Message-----
