Or maybe a wind tee?

$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.

Could it be?? You'd think he'd at least fly it once. Or watch it fly. What's
the story here Juan?

Something tells me you'll get little but hot air & bull**** from Juan.

Oh yeah, and a smiley tacked on at the end...which I guess, in his mind, makes all the difference in the world.

They'd arrest whomever used it for littering and running an
unlicensed toxic waste dump.

I just want to know why he doesn't fly it, or at least watch it fly. I have
nothing against the guy, I don't know him and I'm not going to judge by who
he calls a friend. It just seems that he's put in a lot of effort here, I'd
want to see it fly.

CriCri beats that easily IIRC the twin piston version is ~180lb empty and
~375lb MTOW. The twin jet version would be similar with the same airframe.

Yawn has been trying to sell it for years. He bought it 90% completed
if memory serves. His excuse then for trying to sell it was he was moving
to Puerto Rico and needed the money. What his excuse is now is anyone's
guess. Personally I wouldn't try to fly it either after he worked on it.

Maybe he should convert it to radio control and rent it to the military
as a target.

Maybe he can rent to the military as a target without converting it to R/C
and fly it for them.

Oh Jeez, and I'm already laying low from Zoom's threats/attention. Now I
should attack Jaun's "Record". I'm a little surprised even Guinness would
accept,
for a record, an airplane that had never flown. Besides, Zoom has flown over
twice as many aircraft types as the current Guinness holder. Obviously they
are not up to date.

I wonder how many aircraft are built and never flown by the builder.
I can understand building for the fun of it then selling, but I venture
to say there are some that the builder is afraid to fly. This is
assuming the aircraft passes inspection in the first place.

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 . Told ya yawn doesn't have the gonads to fly the thing .So much for his
faith in the BEDE design .All sizzle no bacon.

Warning!: From what Juan has written on this newsgroup, he hasn't been
able start his engine in a Year and a half.

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
