So, when exactly did Cox quit the .049 and get into circular fans...? |

Chuck S RAH-14/1 ret If he's cut 800 pounds out it, it's no longer a BEDE design... ....and its his bacon he's worrying about when it comes to sizzling! Especially when the thing augers in with him in it! You know, take off one of the wings and tail, and it looks just like one of those George Foreman frypans... No guts, no glory! LOL!!! |

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. Warning!: From the description of this engine in Janes, this engine doesn't have a turbine disk failure system. 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. Warning!: If you are near this airplane while its running be very worried. If the turbine over temps and starts shedding turbine blades, there's nothing to stop them from going through fuselage structural members, flight controls, control cables, fuel tanks and anyone standing nearby. Did Juan forget to mention all this in his ad? Rich No, I'm sure it's in there! You just got to read between the lines ~ the fuel and control lines in this case ~ but those count as "lines," right? They go with the plane...don't they? Well, it's like they always say: Juan for the money, two for the no show, three to get ready! Followed by sounds of crash, explosion, funeral dirge...in that order. |

It just seems that he's put in a lot of effort here, I'd want to see it fly. But how much time did he put into it? From the description it looks like he bought a partially finished kit in Australia.

Well once again, disregarding the apparently intense battle\hatred DABEAR
has for Juan I still find it curious. He's owned this plane, taken pride and made some fairly loud noises about owning it. He has a website about it and has been all about this plane for a while and yet has no desire to see it fulfill it's mission. I have no interest in it, I'm more interested in slow planes with floats but I am curious. The ad says he now wants a motorglider, now that's a far way from a little jet. |

We talked about this here back when the Yawner got his "record." It's not for the *lightest* jet, it's for the *smallest* jet. IIRC, the CriCri was lighter, but was a little bigger in wingspan or length. Of course, and airplane doesn't have to actually fly to be an airplane. I'm told there's a broom and a carpet on the FAA registry. The Cri-Cri is about 10 inches longer. The Cri-Cri weighs half as much. The Cri-Cri's wingspan is shorter by about a foot. (16' vs. 17') The Cri-Cri (jet) flies, has flown, will fly, did fly... http://home.regent.edu/ruthven/bd-5.html BD-5 http://www.amtjets.com/gallery_real_plain.html Cri-Cri (jet) http://www.flight.cz/cricri/english/ GREAT Cri-Cri site. Check out the (new) NZ video. Montblack Cri-Cri fan |
