I will take the Joker Gun

Saw this on another thread..I have been waiting a long time to see this come to fruition..Looks unbelievable..Wish I had that kind of talent..

Has the plug been molded yet ? Looks AWSOME.

Rick,

Is this a new build? I know there is already a "batwing" built and I believe flown, just not on turbine-power yet.

In any case, it is incredible work and will be awesome when flown with a turbine.

The original wing was mine-just a prototype-I'm putting the turbine version together-here is a pic of the first one in the air with speed brakes deployed

Here are some old build pics of plugssorry if there are any dups

more plugs

here is the very first batwing prototype-it was a chunk of foam with no airfoilit proved the air worthiness of the planform-and provided CG and control surface areas-flew like a trainer

what are the nubers /specs of the batwing and do you plan on kittingher?

80 inch wing-37 lbs dry-designed for 30lb thrust plus motorkit-not sure as of yet

thanks man, keep up the good work

WOW ! ! Great job Rick ! I love unique stuff ..... and you can't get any more unique than this. I can't wait to see it fly ...... (I can't wait to just see it completed .....).

Bob

Thanks for the info. Rick.

I'll be watching this one!!

sure you can

This is one amazing project! Best of luck. Can't wait to see it completed!

Subcribed.  Love build threads, especially unique projects.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the support-It is a cool looking machine-I'll try and do it justicehardest part so far was the exhaustsimilar to a F117took 3 tries to fab one that would survive the turbine at 40 lbs of thrust!!

So... has the dragon flown on a turbine yet? I was hoping to see it at Titusville.

Also... I see that this thread is a year old... is there any new progress pics of the bat-wing??

Yes a second identical turbine powered dragon has flown I am holding off flying the one that is painted-the discovery channel is going to do something on it so I am waiting and R C Pilot will be doing the filming when it flysso I'm working out the dynamics of head to tail mixing and aileron to head and then all 3 on the 2nd version in primer-here is an overhead shot on takeoff

Also -should have some new Batwing shots soon
