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.

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.

Nope. Cri-Cri is longer than the BD-5J.

Too bad there is no way to notify Guiness, online. The only contact I
could find was snail mail.

Al, sonny, Marco knows it had not flown when the record application was
submitted.

Next!

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.

The ONLY way he will ever sell it is IF he can find a bigger fool than
himself to buy it. 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. LOL!

Still whining about the few bucks you lost with Jim?

Yawn has been trying to sell it for years. He bought it 90% completed
if memory serves.

You're getting old. Alzheimers?

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

Tell your dog to stop breathing in your ear and your bull to stop ****ting
in your shorts.

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

Add a couple model plane jet engines to an ultralight and you would have

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

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
