Homebuilding Killed Walter Bussey

Actually, he was working on the homebuilt inside his garage (under the
house) when the house slammed into his plane.

Rumor has it he didn't get the proper 337 form when he deleted the
trusses on his new house. I also heard the home "slammed into the
ground" too. Poor guy....

This is all new to me, quite honestly, and disturbing. People are
building airplanes at home and then flying them? This is endangering
people on the ground and in the air flying in real airplanes.

I guess the good thing from Mr. Bussey's death is that the public at
large knows about this practice, and maybe can do something about it
to make our skyways a safer place.

The guy who was killed by homebuilding!!! He was a contractor, who had
to skimp on structure of a new home because he'd spent too much money
building an amateur built aircraft, and the new home collapsed on him,
killing him.

The attorney(s) for the homebuilder (Sticks and Stones Inc) pointed out that
his client's work had been signed off by various City inspectors. The same
could not be said of the structure under construction by the (tube and
fabric) homebuilder - the deceased.

The same said structure was found wrapped around the ...victim, at the
bottom of the rubble pile. According to emergency personnel, it was as if
the deceased were seated in it at the time of his untimely demise.

"Furthermore, two flattened sawhorses found at the scene appear to be
related to the homebuilder's tube and fabric project and did not belong to
his client." claimed the attorney for the homebuilder's homebuilder.

"Therefore," Sticks and Stones Inc's attorney concluded, "Any [grieving
widow] lawsuit(s) should be directed at the "homebuilt" kit manufacturer,
along with any and all entities, representing various "uninspected"
installed components."

In a possible related story, Harbor Freight, UPS, FedEX and Visa are all
seeking litigation protection, in court, by filing for bankruptsy. These
companies will most likely emerge from bankruptsy as New Harbor Freight,
NEWUPS, NewFedEx, and New Visa.

No no, he stalled the house, which we all know means the furnace quit, which
immediately caused the house to fall out of the sky like a rock.

So um, lemme get this straight... If I worked in a factory, and I
built a plane in a factory, then its a "real" airplane, and that would
be OK.

Cool! I drove a forklift in a plastics plant for nearly a year. We
made plastic meat-packing trays. Plenty of space in the plant to hide
my building activities (behind that big stack of obsolete stuff they'll
never sell.) That oughta do it!

Oh wait! A thought! She did say "home" built. So um, if I built a
plane in my uncle's barn, that would be a barnbuilt. Or perhaps in the
wheatfield behind the house? Would that be a wheatbuilt, or is that a
fieldbuilt? And if I drive up Boulder Creek canyon a few miles and
built a plane in the mountains, would that make it a canyonbuilt, a
mountainbuilt, a Ned-built, or perhaps an
OLD-DIRTY-HIPPIE-COUNTRY-BUILT!

WOOHOO !

Those Wright Brothers started all this. They should have gone out and
bought an airplane.

You do know that the original poster here, is from Jacksonville Fl. I
guess they should have outlawed homebuilding sooner.

OMG! I recently installed "Gutter Guards", and now, I'm concerned
about the boundary layer being disrupted and the house settling
regardless of control input. I've always heard it's unwise to fool
with the original design...

Boundary layer effects depend on the Reynolds Number, which in this
example have practical considerations of roof dimensions and whether or
not you live in hurricane country...

PS
If the "Gutter Guards" weren't STC'ed, so may really be experimenting.

No, that would make it professionally built as you work in the field.
