Huge Model Plane!
 
This is sooooo cool! I love the way he side slips it in for the landing!

woohoo huge indeed !! sounds nice too !

"Avoid slip with flaps extended" ;)

On the fly-by with the ramp estended, I kept expecting see a drogue chute come out with a small pallet attached.

Wonderful job!

That thing could fly a small child!

Hmmm. You just made me want to build a small turbine powered personal aircraft. How much thrust do you think you would need to pilot say, a 200lb person. Now that! sounds like fun!

Very cool. Is it easy to find the little turbine engines for that plane?

I bet you could find a BD5J airframe pretty cheap. hehe;)

How in the heck would you get that thing to the field to fly?

Its dang cool btw.

stevepaa 12-15-2008 01:38 PM

amazing!!

targa911S 12-15-2008 01:57 PM

WOW! That is so cool!

svandamme 12-15-2008 02:00 PM

looks like it has plenty of thrust/lift to take children for a ride...
20 bucks a pop, every weekend... 5 minutes each, let's say 100 a weekend

That's not bad money

rattlsnak 12-15-2008 04:54 PM

very cool,...

A prop plane sounds pretty cool as well...

Wow that was cool. I was in the hobby industry for nearly 8 years and never really saw the ducted fan units work so well. I guess they have improved in the recent years. It is amazing that thing can lift off the ground.

Nice video. Thanks for posting.

Those are turbine jets, not ducted fans. :) Ducted fans are a thing of the past.

NAw - they just do it electric like now. MUUUUCH better.

svandamme 12-15-2008 10:48 PM

they don't sound electric, they sound like turbine jet's...
ducted fans whine more

Ha! Mike is saying that ducted fans have gone electric - which is true.

The C-17 does run on turbines.
