RE: Anyone Ever Model the BD-10?
Just want to help clarify something for Dave...
I assume your talking about Andy who is up in Deer Valley who used to own the prototpye BD10, but no longer does.. He had done a wonderful job of restoring that aircraft back to flying status, and I flew the aircraft for him for some time. Andy sold that aircraft to another private owner on the south side of Phoenix over two years ago now, where I delivered it. It was disassembled and moved to his house. To this day it sits in his (the new owner's) garage. The aircraft has been up for sale in Trade a Plane (by the new owner) for quite some time now.. You could have bought that one!
Hope you enjoy your RV!
Mike

The "blue Angels" colour scheme BD-10 wound up being part of the Toronto Aerospace Museum's collection for a while (why oh why didn't I take a lot of pictures of it then.....) before being sold into a private collection somewhere between Toronto and Ottawa.
Jim Bede's problems with the design and his business methods are part of the pbulic record a classic case of not doing the basic enginering and being pessimistic about your results and inputs, and not testing to verify your calculations.
I've got a set of basic 3-views of the "Peregrine" but have never found enough photgraphy of the ass-end of things so that I could figure out how to build an EDF version.
The thread mentioned eariler here has the FM article and a good image of the plans. Enough for me to figure out how to create the design.
Anyone else worked on a 70mm EDF version?

Just seeing if there's any life in this old thread. I'm kicking it off again with a 40mm EDF micro-jet version. Plans have been kicking around a thread in RC Groups for years.
