Nosaj - The Other Wright Brother
The backstory on this little clip is as follows. Nosaj always talks about his plane and his flying skills. So the cornfield hasn't started growing yet and the grass was cut and we were having a cook-out. We encouraged Nosaj to bring his expensive plane over for a little flight. He hasn't had the best success with landings so we expected a rough descent. We didn't think, however, that he would bring everything over except for the starter, have to run back home to retrieve that, and then would spend countless minutes trying to start it. Then we could have never guessed that the plane would not be able to take off by itself on the freshly cut grass. His suggestion was to cut a path real, real short in my backyard. My suggestion could not be printed here. Our compromise, after I had to bring out the John Deere for battery backup, is seen here along with the resulting 30 second flight. Enjoy.
