"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!

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?

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

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.

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

The C-17 does run on turbines.
