Eric

I really appreciate your response and all the info. It really speaks well of a product when potential customers can get a response from a manufacturer like the one you provided. While I missed you on this purchase, you probably just sold another engine down the road on one of my future projects.

Thank you sir

Ron

Great looking BD rick, do you own the molds to that? If so, would you be interested in providing a short kit? I love BD's and yours looks to have the most accurate outline.

Thanks,
Thomas

You know as far as scale goes I stuck with Byrons shape-the exhaust in true scale would be smaller but then it would be too small for the 400 AMT I installed in mine. Besides I really like the look of the larger exhaust tube over scalemy 2 cents

Rick,
Sounds good. When you get around to doing some short/full kits count me in on one. Matter of fact, if your interested, i could work on doing some scale main/nose gear cad drawings. Ive got a good bit of full-scale Bd5 experience (i have built 4), so it would be pretty simple to do the cad work.

Rick,
Send me a pm with what kind of gear design you want for the beast and i will see if i can work something out

. I can do the cad design, but the actual machining i dont have the abilities for currently.

I had a A123 pack, the duralite pump 4300mah pack, and a nicad 5 cell (3000mah, C cell size), plus 1-2lbs of lead in the nose.

The astute viewers on here will be able to notice no provision for a rudder servo. One of a few things that can be improved on future versions.

This is the Hobby King small version, I'm going to install a P20-SX turbine. I have the radio installed.
I put a fixed gear in to save weight.

For now no pix just server errors...

One of the guys in the UK built one of the bigger versions and put a single fixed wheel on the underside of the fus with tip skids on the wings, looked much better in flight than having gear hanging down and it took off and landed on grass without problems, just a thought.
