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. You don't rate the privilege. But it doesn't have to ever leave the ground while carrying a human being right? Ask Marco. He'll set you straight. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

But it doesn't have to ever leave the ground while carrying a human being right? Ask Marco. He'll set you straight. How about if instead of asking Marco myself, I trust you and accept what you wrote he http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...d2bfabf?hl=en& "Marco knows it had not flown when the record application was submitted "? Now, keeping in mind that opinion is like flatulence, in that everyone has it and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks worse than their own, IMHO, it takes more than a bit of chutzpah to submit a claim for the world's smallest/lightest/shortest/whatever human piloted jet aircraft, when the aircraft in question has never flown. But to accept, such a claim, as Guiness has, is just plain stupid. And that is their problem, not yours. The way I look at it, if the plane doesn't have to fly to hold the record that guy with the jet-powered Cri-Cri could just lop off a little from each (or only one!) wing and the nose and take the record away from your BD5. Then you could do the same and take it back. The two of you could keep that up until all that is left of each of your planes is a seat duct taped onto an engine. At that point I think the Cri-Cri would win, having the smaller engine. During that process, it would never be clear exactly when either plane ceased to qualify as a human-piloted jet aircraft, so I would think that it would only be reasonable to include, as a condition for the record, a stipulation that the plane leave the ground under it's own power, while carrying a human pilot. Then we could argue over whether or not it left ground effect. -- FF |

So, in an assignment in which you were tasked to help people, you helped
people? To what extent did you place yourself at risk in this mission? Tell you what, if you ever grow balls large enough, go check the records of SOES, circa 1979 through 1981, at MCAS Cherry Point. In fact, check out the records of a medevac mission in 1981 involving a mom who had just given birth and was hemorraging, and the preemie to which she had just given birth. Then check out the comments of the (at the time, double-digit midget) Vietnam-vet crew chief on the aircraft that took them from Cherry Point to the main hospital at Lejeune. |
