Default RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Thanks guys,
It has a Jetcat P-70 for power and I'm not sure why it weighed out at 23 lbs. I really don't trust my scales, but that is all I had.

First flights were performed by Scott Harris and he did have a few issues, all traced to the construction engineer and his apparent inabliity to follow the designers specifications

I built the stretch wing version ( extra 6 " span) plus tip tanks, and it looks like it is going to be a floater. You may note in the photos the two mounting holes for the tip tanks , these are removable and I have built winglets to go in their place. They look good and we may try them next.
