N83WS Bumble Bee

Brief Intro

N83WS Bumble Bee, a plane which is only 2 meters long, might be the smallest manned aircraft in the world.

It's designed and made by a U.S. soldier called Robert, who participated in WWII with this tiny plane. At the end of the cruel war, both it and its pilot survived. It's sprayed into black and yellow after that, got a cute and lively look.
(Well, all about Robert is just another version of the real story...)

There's also a word painted on both sides of its tail:"The World's Smallest". I believe that my bed is completely big enough for this plane to lie on. Also, as it's so small, there isn't much room for the pilot in the cockpit.

It's said that no one knows how to control this tiny plane except Robert himself. All I know is, if you want to take off sitting in it, please ensure that you're under 80kg. Otherwise, its heart, a 85HP propeller engine, might not be powerful enough to bring you to the blue sky.

    @Dmitryukov I'm terribly sorry for that, but just as it's said, Robert is the only one who knows how to control this plane......

    very nice! Small tip for the future though, if you go into a parts options you can smooth the back and front, it gets rid of the seams so it looks smoother and you could probably use it on the cockpit

    Сделано нормально, а вот управлять самолётом невозможно. Очень плохое управление. Дизайн 4, управление 1

    The actual guy who built this was a WWII veteran, but he built the Bumble Bee aircraft in the mid-to-late 1980s
