8lbs thrust Euro Fighter, Any intrest?
I am in the process of building a plug and was wondering if there could be others that may be interested in a small Euro Fighter. The fuse is 56" wing span 36". I think this would make a great airframe for a MW44 or a Simjet 700 also would make a good airframe for electric powered too...
At the same time I am also engineering the formers for a plug for an 18 to 22lb thrust class Euro Fighter hope to have it complete by end of the year...

Why wont anyone do a Tornado?
I am sure with BOP's skills these two will be terrific and it seems a good subject given the ones currently flying, but I really want someone to do a Tornado!!

I would certainly be interested if the weight is right!!
Lightweight composite fuselage and preferably composite wings (or one piece) and I'll take one.
I had a PJP but in my opinion it was too heavy for a 44 but too small for a 54 so I passed it on. Also a little concerned that I have not heard of anyone flying it other than Mark Leavesley. Pete, if you have any vids I would be interested in having a look.
BOP,
I may also be interested in the bigger one if you could keep us posted.
Any pics?

I have thought about putting the turbine in the rear of the plane so that I get a tremendous amount of static thrust, with the working canards this make for some interesting AOA. But I think the key point here is the weight...

MW44 sits in one of the tailcones with a slight offset. makes it very light as you eliminate all ducting stainless pipes etc.
Jim Wards PJP Eurofighter uses Tamjets dual wall twin outlet pipe and comes out at 12lb. He flys with MW54.
siclick33 send me pm and I will sen some vid that was taken at Long Marston.
I am looking at making plane full composite but the kit builds very quick though.
