RE: Another one is "born"
Thank you all for the positive replies...
George:
I tried a mix between yours and a bit of the Edwards based chase planes color schemes.
Top speed was more than I expected, scary for a "turbine virgin" to be honest, out of sight in no-time.
Didn't try snaps (yet) not sure if the wing tube can handle that? I'm trying to fly within the structural limits of the plane.
I did a -unintentional- tail slide, in which I feared a flame out, but she handled it well.
That new Facet surprise (twin?) should be great. (did see some pics in another thread)
Kerry;
Reactions at the field were also very positive, Personally I just don't like the "kangaroo" -delta variations. doesn't look like a plane. While I was building the most asked question was; "You reckon the field is long enough?" - that question is answered...
StuartJJ;
About 6 -to 8 weeks, that's working on it almost every night after work, and full days in the weekends, sometimes into the "small" hours. Including making a FG fuel tank because I couldn't get the Sullivan tank.
It can be done quicker, I made extra work from the hinging as well.
Thanks again guys,
Gert
