Marty, since no one chimed in on the Hustler, I thought I would...

Butch Sickles also built the Hustler following the demise of a smaller version which was powered by 4/.46 sized ducted fans. The earlier one was the product of Butch and Lynn McCaully and was at least 8-10 years old when it died a spectacular death a week before the Southwest Fan Fly a few years ago. At the time it hadn't been flown for several years and Lynn wanted to test it before taking it to the SWFF, and it succombed to a faulty receiver switch.

The version you saw in the picture has not flown, to my knowlege. The last I heard, it was waiting on someone to donate 4 turbines. Think TJT might be interested?
