At the risk of sounding like a "racist fucktard" (lol what a stupid word) I have to say it feels good knowing that the world pumps in billions of dollars every year into humanitarian aid for Africa to prevent starvation, spread of aids and other human sufferings only to have some of it spent on model airplane kits. I can only surmise that this "toy" is a glider? It has no engine, the wing configuration on top is way off. It's that curve on the top that gives aircraft lift. Wooden ribs instead of aluminum, steel tubing instead of titanium and no riveting makes it highly unlikely that this is more than a make work program. I only say this from observation, not racism, you fucking peon.

Ok, I am truly sorry if things are not working out. I am the first to admit I don't know everything. You are also correct when you say "haters gonna hate" I respect your right to be a hater and wish you well in the future.

Fiberglass for lightweight and steel frame for heavyweight. And those wings... Brick has better aerodynamics then this thing.

That thing looks very heavy to me. I think the wings are no wide enough for that weight, and perhaps not the right shape to generate necessary lift. Astronomical research... How are they supposed to survive in high altitude?? Where is the engine?

Nobody is born with the blueprints of and F-18/Airbus 380. let this people try. maybe in a few years they will have the knowledge/experience to make a real commercial product.

#7 It cannot fly. Wrong shape for wings. The up side should be shorter so the air makes less preasure when passing.

I think it's amazing that these Africans have invented something like this since, as a race, they just discovered fire last Tuesday. Wait until next month when they invent some crazy machine that can add and subtract numbers! (But first, they will have to invent themselves some numbers...)

The Wright brothers were not shooting for 25,000 feet in altitude either.

If the niggers wanted to fly, go to Alabama and some white guys would be happy to string them up to some tree limbs and 'fly'...
