Came across this beauty at a clearing sale 120 km west of Bourke. Advertised as a Land Plane. Considerable thought had gone into construction, the Blue square rigged tarp could be hoisted aloft and the lower boom would follow up the mast, the whole mast could also tilt at the base, held in place with hayband stays. somehow sit up the front and steer the motorbike front end. A bent axle from a 6 x 4 trailer with 14" wheels held the back down. Much longer than an LLM, higher off the ground and also narrower. Apparently there is footage of its first and final voyage on tik tok. A windy day and it took off downwind at a scary rate but failed to make the first turn and folded up the boom. No one was game to try again.

It would be a very interesting Boeing
