Garage Built Project
(OP)
Consider the Ebay auction for plans to build the following ultralight plane:

Would anyone here believe that this plane could be built and safely flown by inexperienced college students as a part of a engineering course, as suggested in the description?

Lemme think about it. One biplane glider in two weeks by two guys who choose to have nothing else to do? From plans? Credible. A bit longer if they have no power tools.

It's so obvious to me that such a rotten photo clearly ruins a guy's credibility. If it's worth selling, it's worth a decent photo or two, but some people can't be bothered.

$14 is cheep enough, you can buy the plans and if your duped, it's not really a big loss

Also, a decent prop will probably eat up your $400 cost estimate right there.
I could be wrong....but it looks fishy to me.

Her dad flew one into a tree if I remember correctly.
I would say that something like that, a tube structrure and no engine is easy to build by amateurs...
