AE-LB-1 "Cracker"

2,062 Subsere  1.2 years ago

Despite

looking straight from the skies of the First World War, the "Cracker" is a perfectly modern and capable aircraft ( >:( ) designed by yours truly for one purpose and one purpose only:

Killing Eels.

Why, you may ask, did I design, build, test, and hastily press into service an aircraft just for that one, seemingly petty reason?
The answer, my friend, may surprise you: I am petty enough to design, built, test, and hastily press into service an aircraft designed to kill eels.

I caught wind of a little incident called the "Eel War". Now, normally I would be quite done with such silly affairs, after all I just got back from an alien planet on an assignment specifically to observe absurd displays of violence. Thing is, it turned out that the pro-Eel (the capitalization was insisted on, for some reason) side, the "Eel Protectorate", is lead by none other than Grain Guy themself, the current manager of the Graingy SimplePlanes.com account. Seeing as that pebble is now my sworn enemy, I figured it an appropriate use of my time to join the war against elongated sealife so that I may bring Grain Guy Grief, er, grief.

Will I regret this?
Maybe.
But I quit my job and Graingy so now there's no going back.

To hell with you, Grain Guy!

To hell!

(Oh and it has cocaine bombs 'cause I heard it was bad for Eels)

    @Mousewithamachinegun123 Only if they look.
    You are quite literally tagging them.

    Sure. Although this is a public forum, so they will be able to see it, if they chose to.

    @Mousewithamachinegun123 Please don't alert them.
    As much as I hate it, this is very much a David vs. Goliath-type scenario, and I'd rather they weren't privy to my every word.

    @Mousewithamachinegun123 I am competent, and it doesn't matter how many points they have, I WILL kick Grain Guy's rear-end into the sun.

    Thats exactly what I was saying to begin with. However, there are more important things to discuss. For example, why is talonthecrtguy calling you a granny?

    @Mousewithamachinegun123 Issue is, if this plane here is anything to go off of, Mckenzie might actually be a mildly competent aircraft designer.
    Mildly.
    Still, for someone who, to my knowledge, has never received any sort of formal education on aerodynamics, the "Cracker" is a surprisingly capable platform.
    Certainly maneuverable.

    1: OrangeConnor2's real name is Connor Mckenzie.
    2: I have issues that prevent me from either getting sleep or free time. I have to chose one or the other, and I almost always chose free time ('cause during the free time I stop being sleepy, thus I forget just how badly I need sleep). I usually operate on about 2 hours on the weekdays.
