Hi All,
Thought some of you might be interested in this new sport jet from Fei Bao. I have had the privilege of assembling and test flying the first sample of this 3.1metre (122") long model, and wanted to post a few photos and a link to one of the flights we made last Saturday, during the first flight session.
The Swordfish is of course all moulded and weighs just under 18Kg without fuel, fitted with a JetCat P180-Rx turbine. It flies extremely well, and coped without problems with the blustery wind we had to contend with, as well as the relatively restricted airspace we had at the flying site. The only minor issue with the flight shown is that I caught the flap switch during the landing approach so touched down without flap, meaning the landing was a lot faster than it should have been.
Photos and video were kindly taken by my good friend Bob Petrie.
