Homemade B-29
A friend sent me this link. I'm amazed at the engineering that went into this. The fact that either one can fly at all is incredible to me, but especially the B-29 with the X-1 and surviving separation.
I'm not a pilot, so maybe it's not as difficult as I think. But it still blows me away. See below:

Home-made B-29 bomber.........Wow! This is cool. This aircraft runs on four Chainsaw motors.
You can just imagine how much time, effort, skill and money these guys have put into this thing.

I thought you were going to post this one:

I don't know the story, but it looks like he lost a couple of engines or at least had some power issues.

And a B25:

Mark,

Thanks for the postings. I've never seen this stuff before.

It's pretty bad when your own B25 tries to eat you.

Ouch.
