I propose that @RobEmslie get today’s COTD for “Corollavirus”.

Kit may have been annoying, but goddamn I loved that plane. When I was a kid I wanted to make enough money to build my own Sea Duck.

That didn’t work out...

The real reason for flying boats was the fixed pitch prop. Prior to adjustable pitch props you had either a climb or cruise prop, if you wanted to be able to cruise at altitude at a decent speed and at a low cruise RPM you needed a flat pitch prop.

My only question is....why are these worthless fucks so obsessed with us? We literally just mind our business and live our lives and they’ve created this whole psychotic internal narrative that we’re secretly planning to murder most of them and make the rest our slaves or some shit.

If I became a billionaire I would totally commission one of these for my personal flying office. Money is wasted on the rich, you know.

This isn’t bad, and I voted NP.

My point is further illustrated by the fact that you can stick one of these engines in a car and make a high performance machine. I’m vividly aware of this and I’m looking forward to finding a wrecked 2020 CBR1000RR-R to upgrade my bike engine car to over 200 horsepower:

I’m with you, but....
