Many constructors of the Flying Flea lost their lives before the kit was banned. Mostly because of unsuitable engine choice. It was originally intended to use a small motorcycle engine. Also the airflow between the wing and tailplane was disturbed when in a steep decent, causing spiral dives into the ground. You need big balls to fly one of these, that's for sure.

The classic Pou de Ciel designed by Mnsr Henri Mignet back in the early 1930's. I believe most of the ones that were built crashed and either seriously injured or killed their pilots. My late father and my uncle were going to build one until they heard just how dangerous they were, they built a boat instead. Yes, they fly, but in certain flight conditions like stalls etc, they become uncontrollable and nothing the pilot does will make it recover, with predictable results. I understand that for a while, the French aviation authorities grounded the design until improvements were made. But as they say, mud sticks and nobody wanted to build one. This one looks really nice.

This is the last of the mighty, proud Slobbovian Air Force! Pressed into service during the Great Potato Weevil Insurrection and the following Golden Turnip Uprising, then languishing in the post-conflict backwash of enforced peace and bureaucracy, these noble craft wasted away as crop-dusters. A very few of them were returned to service in the infantile postwar Air Mail division of the great Slobbovian National Postal Service for their unique STOL capabilities. This last surviving example was the service aircraft of former Slobbovian Minister of Agriculture Grigoric Pootemsky. With its unique features- belly mower, PTO for most three-pointed attachments and a sawmill, it served its purpose with great distinction! It was rescued and lovingly restored in 2008-2009 by Vogelfrit, and proudly takes to the skies to this day!
