![]() "Al G" wrote in message ... "Deaf2u" wrote in message ... http://www.global-air.com/global/g05229.htm Could it be?? You'd think he'd at least fly it once. Or watch it fly. What's the story here Juan? 358 lbs. Pretty Good. Is that "ready to fly"? I.E. a Basic Operating Weight? Yes. I dropped 80 lbs thanks to a model Microturbo that doesn't have a starter/generator, and only requires 11psi fuel pressure, vs 200 psi for the TRS-18. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

I guess we could build one out of Balsa and go for the record seeing how it doesn't need to fly to get the record.Heh Heh how about a Scale RC turbo jet model of an F-15 I seen one fly. Beats yawn on 2 counts ,it's smaller and it flys . Sorry, ChuckSteak, but it has to carry a human being.

I am not sure that would be possible but in a world full of fools...who knows? $120,000 for that death trap...wow! I might see a $120 to use it as a sign for a local hamburger joint called AIRWAYS. I know your real problem is envy, Bob. You know a putz like you would never even get close to what I have accomplished so far. So you're reduced to a simpering nimrod throwing prepubescent insults.

![]() "Richard Isakson" wrote in message ... Warning!: From what Juan has written on this newsgroup, he hasn't been able start his engine in a Year and a half. The engine was just reassembled after an injector inspection showed several of them were partly clogged. They were inspected in Idaho and the engine is now reassembled. Warning!: From what Juan has written on this newsgroup, this engine doesn't have it's fuel control unit that would protect it from a turbine over temp. From what Richard has written in this newsgroup, he's proved he's ignorant. A fuel control unit that protects from overtemp? What a moron. No microturbo has a fuel control that does that. Not even the analog computer does that. Warning!: From the description of this engine in Janes, this engine doesn't have a turbine disk failure system. IQ's keep dropping in Isakson's gourd. No Microturbo small turbine has anything like this. This makes Juan's airplane lighter than all other BD-5Js and won him recognition as having the lightest non-flying, non-running BD-5J in the world to be recognized by a beer company. Wrong again, nimrod. What makes my airplane lighter has nothing to do with that. ![]() Any other stupid comments you want to make, dip****? ![]() Juan -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

In article yd_ih.571$kD4.351@trndny06, Anthony W says...
ChuckSlusarczyk wrote: Add a couple model plane jet engines to an ultralight and you would have developed a jet airplane with the slowest max speed. You can file your new world record with "Ripley's Believe It or Not." Actually it's been done twice.Once on a Mitchell wing that flew I think at SnF about 10 years ago and a couple years ago with a twin jet on a Pteredactyl flown by Jack McCornack. I saw them both. They were slow alright :-0 Chuck S The Mitchell Wing was my first thought but the name escaped me at the moment. Weren't those pulse jets on the Wing rather than mini-turbines? In my not so humble opinion a Mitchell U2 with mini-turbine engines would be the coolest ultralight ever. If I weren't built like a linebacker, I'd already be into ultralights... The record is for the smallest jet, it didn't say anything about how fast it was or if it even got off the ground (as we know juanatross never did.) The Mitchell wing had a small turbo unit I think it came out of a small ground power unit. Sounded neat but I guess it burnt fuel at a pretty good clip. I guess it was doing about 60 - 70 mph . The other was a twin turbo Pterodactyl using model airplane size engines. He needed both and I guess combined they produced 55-65 pounds thrust . Neither one was practical but they were fun to watch and both did what jauns jet won't do and that is they flew :-) Merry Christmas Chuck S RAH-14/1 ret |
