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.
That is so cool!
wow that is almost big enough to ride on Hayden ! Looks impressive
Where are the strings and pickups? ;)
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 !
especially when its 300ft up in the air! hehe
it does have 2 very long strings inside the fuz and 4 pickups that are radio controlled ...ok getting my coat!
Hahahaha! Shove over guys, let Hayden sit at the Naughty Room bar.. Woks, pour that man a pint of your finest :)
...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!
Pizza oven back on guy's the Carbon tax is no longer. Db can we have more of your finest wood to light the oven please. Wokks more ham and pineapple dude and I will bring the cheese
Ok Turbine mounted!

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
so found a way to incorporate a strat spring in my glider whoohooo...

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...

Fly, it certainly does.
Spectacular thanks for posting it up
Thanx..decided to fit a bigger turbine to it a 29hp or 20kw output 360ml/min fuel guzzle 3l on board and 13.5kgs dry weight,
had it pass its jet inspection 1st go so very happy with the build ...now to fly..here is the onboard footage of same flight...

Almost makes me want to get back into the jets..
Awesome! It's so fast! Love the nose view vid.
Awwwwwww man, I've always wanted to move on from EDFs and get into turbine jets!
Try to 3D it without crashing :P
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
