| | | Hey Jon, I'm not sure if you meant to be funny or serious but I think the Berserker is absolutely hilarious! It borders on looking like one of those crackpot flying contraptions from old movie reels of the early days of aviation. This airplane is (...)

The criticism is really against Kenworth Industires for designing a "flying deathtrap-for-two."
