Its like a kid got a lego kit of a Cessna 172, but lost the instructions. The kid tried his best, and the mom pats him on the head and says "its cute, sweety."

I'm just imagining the wings and engines taking off and leaving the fuselage behind

That sounds like something that would happen to Wile E. Coyote in a Roadrunner cartoon. And I can totally imagine that happening with this aircraft.

Absolutely! On takeoff, the jets separating from the fuselage just as he gets about 20 feel off the cliff ledge.

When you think about it, most non magnet aircraft catapult systems work similarly.

The [Orlican L-40 Meta Sokol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orli%C4%8Dan_L-40_Meta_Sokol) also has landing gear like this, though the fuselage looks less strange.

Like on the FiSk 199, this looks more wrong on an otherwise normal looking plane

There’s one in flying condition in Oregon. Pretty much open to viewing by the public. I’m not going to broadcast it. But it’s western Oregon.

Love this strange fella. The story behind the aircraft and how it managed to survive is quite unique https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/only-flying-yl-15-scout-180973135/

I kinda want one! It actually has a rear window, and the rear seat can turn around. Rear-facing doors too. I never heard of a "liason aircraft" before (from the wikipedia link).
