Nope...
A 25 Lbs thrust turbine!
A Wilga 1:3 is also in reach...
Slope-soaring is also a pure pleasure here in Norway.
I`ll take a complete pic tomorrow.

I suppose you will be using digital metal gear servos or futaba brushless servos rigged like in a giant scale 3d plane: four per surface?

Youre goiung to need a helluva battery to operate the turbine speed control and pump and servos!!!!![X(]

It flew beatifully, but ended badly [&o]
You can see the outcome here: http://rc.andersh.com/html/videofile.php?VidUID=1099

Really sad story, but Gudmund is not the man to give up over a failover or two [8D]
He's got a really interesting project going on right now. I'm sure he will tell You guys all about it in his own good time
