alan_k Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Nice frame but where's the prop? [youtubevideo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWQt5wzTTno&feature=related[/youtubevideo] No torque effect there Notice the throttle mounted vario, that's a new one on me as well.

peter_6095 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Very cool - but I reckon that there is a lot that could go badly wrong there! I think that there is a reason that he didn't go for a forward launch (apart from the camera set up on the back), probably a danger of burning what is behind you with the jet. I think the consequences of a bad launch or take off would be pretty serious with this set up. Sounds awesome though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macey2kk Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Like his Orange Cage +1 on that one!!.. was really surprised at the responsiveness of the throttle...thought they were alot slower... a massive step forward in terms of different power units...but a big step backwards in terms of fuel consumption.....shame...cos i bet it weighs bugger all!

tj Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Good to get up to thermal with occasional jets in areas lacking lift? Tj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
