RE: Modellsport Schweighofer Alpha Jet Project

Schweighofer Alpha Jet Project (Part 14)

[/b]Finally the model is ready for spray filling.

Many hours, a lot of sweat and material have been burned up until now – but the result was worth it.

Impressions of our Alpha Jet – now the way leads to the sprayer cabin:

The model is one part, the undercarriage another. Until now we had no appointment with Red Bull. I think these guys had too much work in the last months to organize the Airpower show. Congratulations from my side.

This delay is not tragically but it causes concern we still have no documentations of the undercarriage.

We took apart the Jett meeting in Fürstenfeld this year; there we got known with Markus Lützenburger. This meeting was a lucky strike. I haven’t known there are people who spend week lasting holidays, dinners and most spare time in Airplanes. Nobody knows the Alpha Jet as good as Markus.

He had his Alpha Jet in Fürstenfeld, I got many useful hints from him for our Project. I’d like to use this opportunity to introduce Markus.

Picture: Markus Lützenburger

Markus Lützenberger is a modeller since his childhood. He started his career with a “kleiner UHU” from Graupner. Since the beginning he had the attention to construct and to build everything on his own. To do this his education as a plastic technician helped him.

Later Markus has built his own models, for example a 4meter competition soaring plane Sphinxx with carbon wings.

His home was directly on the approach path of the Fürstenfeldbruck Airbase, where he was infected by the fascination of the Alpha Jets of the JaBoG 49. Since this time Markus dreamed of a jet engine for models. 204 he build his own KJ66 turbine, since this event Markus suffered of the “turbine fever”.

2005 Markus developed the Fuelwatch system which is used by many jet pilots until today.

Now Markus has realized his dream of a turbine powered Alpha Jet. He has collected a lot of information in the last years and he has spent many hours under the full size plane which guards the doors of the former airbase Fürstenfeldbruck.

Based on the drawings and pictures Markus has collected we have enough material to start the construction of the undercarriage.
