Pretty darn awesome plane - one size up & ya could sit in the cockpit :?
Is that a Guitar Aquistion Syndrome turbine you plan to use? (snicker snicker)
Be interested to know how it operates etc.

good one DB, how the hell would you play a 4.2m plane with strings and pickups ? Would be harder to play than my current jandal build !

it does have 2 very long strings inside the fuz and 4 pickups that are radio controlled ...ok getting my coat!

...could you allow Van to bring the glider....might help to speed up the delivery of Pizza since we were banned from using the Pizza oven due to the carbon tax!

Wicked! Where can you fly something like this around here dude? I assume launching it off the road outside your house would be frowned upon somewhat.

very impressive Haydn, blown away that turbine spins at 158,000 RPM ! I was waiting for the workbench it was mounted on to start moving !
I'll look after the pizza and beers for Haydn in the naughty room Jarrod/DB

Seriously cool toy 8-)
I take it that the turbine carries it aloft at a huge rate of knots, then you power down/run out of fuel and the rest is silent controlled gliding?

Yea thats what some blokes do with theirs ..but this one is for doing this with...

building an EDF version of the same glider guys...its for my buddy Graham he is just finishing off the structural improvements that are definatly needed as we both fly hard and its a 13 KG glider pulling serious G's if there where anybody onboard their brains would actually be leaking out the head! some guys have recorded 70+ G's in composite ones doing DS ..crazy huh..here is the link to the base unit for the EDF for Grahams Blanik
