The Scrapyard Monster is Flying Fries' fictional aircraft, offered in bush and sea forms. Its manual describes an adapted Cosworth-derived V12 concept and deliberately exaggerated performance, alongside a steering-wheel-like pitch and roll control.
Pitch trim acts through a tab. Hydraulic wing flaps have mechanical automatic ground retraction; in the Sea version, water rudders use the parking-brake binding and require the gear to be raised.
