RE: GA Jet's Flying this past Sunday

The BD 5 was flown as ducted fan, it is now powered with a P 80@ 17# thrust, it weighs 21 dry. It is fun to fly and it takes a while to slow it down to land. I reinforced the bulkhead that the spar fittings attach too and moved the ele. and rudd. servos to the aft. there are more photos of the engine installation on RCU, ( search BD5J ). It is painted with PPG products. Thank You, Rick
