robert starr, the same creator of the bumblebee II, goes out of his house to breath some fresh air.
It is 1950, 3 decades before the bumblebee II was made. He was a veteran aircraft pilot, driving a p-51 mustang during world war 2 and a f 86 sabre in the korean war. He is an expert in planes, and knows how to make one. Now back to the story, as robert sits on his porch, one idea comes up his mind: make a plane.
He was a pilot, so he knows how planes are made and how they work, so robert stands from his porch and goes to his shed. First, to make a plane, you must have a blue print of it. He grabs some papers and a pencil, and begins to sketch it out. He first did the body and the propeller, and then the cockpit and the rest of the wings and landing gear. His first design of the cockpit's position was right at the middle, but it would have a small space for the fuel, so he ends up placing it on the back.
It was almost sunset when he was done. All he needed was the materials for the plane. He had scrap metal and wood ready, but one thing he didn't had was an engine. The nearest aircraft equipment store was very far away from his house, so he just planned to go there tomorrow.
Robert then woke up early in the morning. He hurriedly washed himself and then dressed up, ready to go. He went out of his house and walked to the city for a taxi ride to the shop. He saw one, and rode on it. He then went inside the shop and bought a small V12 engine. After that, he went home.
It was time to create his first plane, as all of his materials were ready. First, he made the body by shaping the scrap metal he had then welding them together. Second, he attached the engine and his self made two bladed propeller. Third, he made the control systems and the cockpit too. Fourth, he then added the wings and the flaps. And at last, he placed the landing gear and finished it all.
His plane was ready to fly, but it was sunset when he was done. So he just planned to test fly it tomorrow. It was this day when he was gonna fly the SA 1A junior. He hired a truck to carry it to a wide field, where he was gonna fly it. After some hours, he arrived there. He then unloaded it, while the truck driver's assistant, jonathan, took pictures of the aircraft.
"all's ready!" shouted robert. The truck drivers and some random people watched the plane as it started and took off. It was flying good. Everyone was amused by this. One person was watching it and he was a guiness world records journalist, so he took pictures of it.
The flight ended after 2 minutes, and everyone cheered him. Soon, the plane will be claimed as "the world's first smallest airplane".
that rank would soon be replaced by his (not weird looking) SA 2A sky baby, and then the current title holder by now, bumblebee II
