Why the Bixler "Pilot" can't fly!!!

by x3mperformance | March 31, 2013 | (8) Posted in Just Fun

Yesterday i actually got told, by my 3 year old daughter, why this figure, that comes with the Bixler 1.1 is unable to fly, at all.

 

Heres the story.

I was working on my Bixler 1.1, and my daughter is watching, and participating, in her own way.

She asks me. "Who is gonna fly it?"

I dig into the box, and draws the pilot out, and hands it to her, and says, "He is the pilot."

She looks at it, thinks for a split second, then hands it towards me. "He can't fly it."

I pause, and really wan't to know, why he can't fly, so i ask her. "Why can't he fly?"

Se responce. "Look dad.. He has no legs!"

And i almost fell down the chair, laughing.

This is the mind of a 3 year old. But she's absolutely right. No leg, no flying.

So please don't put that "Pilot" figure-thing into your Bixler or anything else with wings, cause he can't fly, any attempts will crash and end in disastre.

 

 

Happy Easter to you all.

I got a new pilot for mine. He can't fly either, but you should see what he can do with a pod racer!

Bixler doesn't fly in the plane he controls it from the ground. Try attaching him to your remote and see if your skills improve. lol

Hmm... Bixler.
He might get a place at my ground station.
No legs, no arms. He can only supervice...

Height limited, he's got no oxygen mask. Hypoxia degrades you flying skills.

But on a serious note, how do you get the little bugger to stay in his cockpit? I've tried hot glue gun and gorilla glue but he still keeps coming lose.
