Interesting design. Whatevet happened to it?
Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired
Plans are available for $90 U.S. (inc. postage) at
http://www.homebuilt.org/kits/littner/cp150.html. I don't know of anyone who
is - or has - built one in the U.S. I believe several have been built in
Europe including some with a composite fuselage.
Looks like it would be a good test bed for some of the new v-twin lawn
tractor motors or maybe a pair of those expensive turbojet model airplane
powerplants.

One of my neighbors is into RC big time.
He has two tiny turbine engines of about 50 pounds thrust each.
They turn something like 100 THOUSHAND RPM (with all the harmonics).
These are the absolute coolest toys ever.
Microprocessor controlled starter, even.
I would LOVE to hang those screamers on my parasol for a high speed
pass down the runway...
