Anyone here building a fullsize plane?

no

it would be like a fat bastard having to call the fire brigade and rent-a-crane to get it out of the living room window

Was it Spike Milligan who had the catch phrase, "A young man could come to harm that way!"?

Many years ago a friend and I built a pedal powered plane to have a go at the Kremer prize for man powered flight.

We did manage to leave the ground albeit very briefly and even made a spot on Look North on ITV...

Two.

One is a CriCri with an MAUW equal to a go-kart

The other is a Long-Ez with a diesel engine.

Wow, a diesel engine! what make? Or is it a special brew? What made you go for a diesel; fire safety or range? Building an aeroplane is something I would like to do one day, but not until I've got more money burning a hole in my pocket. Long-Ezs are cool, but reading stuff on the web I get the impression they are for advanced builders and experienced pilots only; is this true? That Mr. Rutan is an aviation god.

At first I took this as meaning a plane for removing material (as in smoothing plane, rabbet plane, etc) BUT, if you're interested in amateur-built aircraft in the UK, you should contact the Popular Flying Association
