Video Proof: Chickens CAN Fly! (Awesome Italian Homebuilt)


 I've got a couple suggestions for you when watching this first-flight video of a fascinating homebuilt that appears to be from Italy. First, turn down the volume - the music gets old really fast. Second, after watching the takeoff, feel free to jump ahead to about the 4:00 mark to watch the perfect landing, unless you like watching small aircraft fly around way off in the distance. And third, feel free to be impressed by how well this oversized chicken flies!

 It's mostly the paint and the high thrust line that makes this aircraft unique, but I really like the unusual panoramic windshield that wraps around the whole front of the fuselage. It's comic book 1930's retro made real, and I love it. Actually, I kinda love the whole chicken theme! You can see a coop full of pix over at this facebook page and I'm pretty sure more info will surface soon on this wild flying chicken : )

May I suggest to substitute the soundtrack with Fools "Psyco Chicken" ?
