Last week I managed the first flight of my new low-wing version of JayTee (see avatar), now known as JayLow.
It has a span of about 74" and is powered by a Jets-Munt VT80.
Since the dry mass is 6.01 kg (13.2 lb) including some nose ballast, and thrust is 8 kg, it goes quite well, even straight up.
I had only one flight and did not hammer full throttle much, only take off, a giant loop, one fast pass and a straight up vertical. Pleased with the result.

Scott, I hope you don't mind that I kind of copied your colour scheme a bit.

Still keen to see video and more details of the Firebird
