    Can you not read, stupid? Clearly says pond racer. Even so, why give it 1 star. It's not 1 star material@flightguy

    Nice. Check out my design too. Was made a few months earlier. I think one of Burts coolest designs.

    @flightguy I believe you misread the title, it says "pond", not "pod". This is a replica of a plane from the early '90s, not the StarWars racing vehicle. With that in mind, it would be kind of you to change your rating.
