If they can make this out of wood I'm sure you can make a go-kart out of wood

I'm quite certain the spruce goose wasn't made from some scrap lumber and bent nails nicked from a dumpster behind a construction site. In fact, it was almost entirely hand-laid laminated birch.
Spruce goose was really an incredible machine. 33,000 horsepower on that thing, designed to carry 150,000 lbs (that's 3 Sherman tanks) across the ocean. Made from wood because government officials were too afraid it wouldn't be viable, so they wouldn't divert the needed aluminum from the war effort.
I've actually been to Evergreen Air & Space many times. I can testify that it is HUMONGOUS(the Spruce Goose), but inside the hull is actually smaller than you'd expect. All that wood needs a lot of bracing to stay together. They've also got a really cool SR-71 Blackbird there........my favorite.......
@Mr_mcrib212, don't hurt yourself
Gotcha. I've been here. It is quite the place:

The Museum of Aviation is the 2nd largest museum in the US Air Force, preserving aircraft, inspiring visitors, and educating future leaders.museumofaviation.org
This entire project is a bad idea, i thought we got past that, also, it will have brakes, I will have a drum brake band around the clutch.Yes. "skrew" brakes. Indeed a bad idea.
