I have some video of a 2.6m Salto powered by the first prototype Sprite engine

It was very low power then at under 2Kg so pretty comparable with the Kolibri. It is heavier and its consumption was more then than a Kolibri. We used a 600cc tank and the takeoffs were either from the ground using the wheel or hand launched.

It was a cheap Flyfly model 2.6m wingspan. It needed the wheel beefed up considerably to stand a grass landing. It flew well enough, but died when it went into an irrecoverable spin when descending after the engine had stopped and Dave was making rather too steep descending turns. Despite being flown aggressivly the wings did not fold up and the airframe was strong enough, though I remember Ali muttering that it would not last long!

The best models I have found though are http://www.blue-airlines.com

They do a 2.54m fully composite Swift that might be good. There is some video on the site as well and they look strong models. Have a look at the Swift S1 video towards the end.
