The turbine is actually dialed back to around 60 lbs. This would fly quite well with a Jetcat 200, however I wanted the extra thrust margin for tests, as a lower powered engine is somewhat marginal on vertical maneuvers (as was the real plane)

I started late in life with RC and although I'm a fair pilot, I occasitionay dump one to mechanical failure or just stupity on my part. If I dumped something like yours I would be in mourning for months.

There isn't any info on this plane it is scratch built. Like it says the molds will be going to Mibo jets so you will just have to wait for its release.

would you please post another one without any music at all?

I am still working on the plug, slowly but surely. Nowhere near where Mike is obviously, but it sure is nice to see an Intruder in the air!! I put it up right now to do some projects for a buddy of mine that lost his fleet in a fire so as soon as those are done I will pull it back down.

The molds will ultimately go to MIBO and should they choose to produce a kit then you will be able to get one from them.

A truly awesome accomplishment!! This is one I'll have to start saving for!

Though the flight video is great, I do have to add my request to others already expressed: If you have any input, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ditch the awful music soundtrack on future videos. I just want to hear the sound of the turbine combined with the awesome flights! That music is sooooooo distracting!

Thanks,

David S
