My grandad's friend is building an airplane in his garage! I can't wait till it's done! I hope I get to ride it. Anyways, I was looking at the blue prints, and it pulls +6 g's to -3g's! It seats 2 people. He'll be finished with it later in the summer.[:D]

You've never been in a plane??? I've been on loads of comercial airlines (longest flight i've been on was from Detroit to London) but i've never been on one that's so small and junk! I hope he lets me ride in it!

Same here, on a coaster, I walk off kinda woobly, but recover in a few minutes. On a plane, I don't get sick, but it's kinda scary knowing that there's nothing underneath you.

Both my grand parents are piliots; my grandmother could have been commercially certified. They have their own plane, it's a blast to ride in! Hope you have lots of fun with it!

Airtime would be fun, like -.1g floater air sustained for 10-15 seconds [8D]

Ya, I gotta try it just once. I still don't know if I can go on it; but since my grandad's friend is giving me his truck and making an airplane, maybe he will let me ride in it!
