I figure if it was a real project, that was intended to fly, but couldn't,
then it is elegible.

If it's a Fokker D.VIII with ram-jets... well, I don't think that will work.

[grin] Dunno why, but that remark jogged a memory loose. My cousin and I
built a Albatros D.V from Comet (I think!). The darn thing refused to fly.
So, we attached a pair of bottle rockets to the wings because the first rule
of engineering is MORE POWER!

The rockets ripped the wings right off and left the fuselage standing there.
Doh! We didn't see that coming!

Good times.
