Al, sonny, Marco knows it had not flown when the record application was submitted. Next! Ok, no big deal. I was just surprised that Guinness would accept as a "Airplane" world record, something that does not fly. My bad. I am learning. How are the sales going? Al G |

"jc" wrote in message ... 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. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

In article , Al G says...
"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? Can anybody compete for a Guiness World Record "Lightest Jet"? What are the rules? Obviously it need not be an actual flying airplane... 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. Chuck S RAH-14/1 ret |

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!!! |

Al G You see those two ropes hiding behind the wing? G U Buy, U Control...U can do anything on the outside of one of these...including touch the face of God, much like bug squat on a windshield... So, when exactly did Cox quit the .049 and get into circular fans...? |
