Home built airy plane mimics Wright design in Carthage
Staib, a 51-year-old Rocketdyne worker from Diamond Missouri, built an open air experimental aircraft in his garage with scrap tubing and 10 horsepower engines. At Carthage Municipal Airport it flew about 40 feet during a test, showing decent maneuverability. He plans improvements and may publish plans for home construction of a low cost flyer. Irene Staib assists with pre and post flight notes. The craft weighs about 300 pounds and uses two single cylinder engines totaling 20 horsepower.
