Yep, like it says on the sketch, this is just another flying wing (except I really like this one). Although the "Crumb" was drawn about
ten years before the famous Lazy Bee came to market, it shares a lot of the same pudgy design features. I always envisioned this as a light
putt-putt; nearly a powered glider. This is one I'd really like to build some day, but that taildragger gear makes me a little nervous (see
Spartan Wing). In case you're wondering, Salacious Crumb was Jabba the Hutt's sidekick in Star Wars II. Mostly he stuck his head out and
laughed once in a while. Okay, so I like Star Wars. Sue me.
