Thanks for all the supporting comments.

Mr_matt sorry I did not respond earlier.
You asked about take off from the ground and
I too have experienced the suction of the jet blast
It has done one rolling take off at low speed.
(in video) and I think the new Rig will be lighter so
the take off speed may be lower. I still don't think
it will take off strait up.

Yes, I am fairly sure it rainiest exhaust near the ground
(because I too am breathing the hot air) but it does not
seem to be a problem. Rig #1 never dropped or sank
quickly... Its too heavy to move very fast, if that makes any
since.

on a great project,

Question, do you think you will ever try to take off from the ground. I messed with a Vertigo several years ago, and it seemed like the high velocity air going under the wings created a very low pressure and held the plane down.

Also, what about reingestion of the exhaust near the ground?

Anyway, good luck
