Default RE: SR-71 prop jet project

Vic, I've got the spine to build it, but you have to be the one to do all the pitting and to fly it....

FW, this will be one of the most interesting threads to follow.
I know a couple of things electric power is great for, building fast prototypes and doing multi engine set ups. The problem with too small of a prototype is that the wingloading won't be proportional to the Reynolds numbers [and all that other scientific stuff] so comparing the results of a miniature can be misleading. The old saying of "bigger flys better" could be hotly debated with this model, I'll bet.
