Hello,

my name is Hannes Lutzenberger and I´m from Germany.

After building a CARF Gee Bee this is my latest project, a BD5J microjet in 50%.

The kit is made by a friend of mine, Martin Sannwald from Switzerland. He is the owner of the www.swissmodelshop.ch

Here a picture when my girlfriend and I picked up the kit at Martins shop:

Here the first pictures when the kit arrived at my shop:

Looking at your beautiful GeeBee I'im sure this will also become a masterpiece!

Dave Wilshere

Which scheme have you chosen?

Thank you :-)

And NO, I will not build a special trailer for the BD5J ;-)

My first idea was to make the RED BULL color scheme, but after Guido´s tragic crash on Mai 1 this year I canceled the idea.

So, the color scheme will be the J.W. "Corkey" Fornof BD5J from the James Bond movie "Octo*****":

I think it is a not-so-subtle reference to your lovely girlfriend.

Nice work on the planes, Hannes... very nice work.

Since this DB5J is made by a German, it has to be well-made and well-designed.
Even though it is 50%, it is still small, and no trailer would be needed. Should have just gone to the full sized jet and made it radio controlled.

Stick with the full sized Sarah.

hannes83

Thank you very much!

hannes83

There is a guy here in Germany, Markus Richter http://www.tankverschluss.de/

He builds a wood full size RC BD5J!! :-)
