"Holy Bat poop Batman" will it fly?

I don´t know how well it will fly, but the result already was worth for all the work,, congrats!

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..

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

Has the plug been molded yet ? Looks AWSOME.

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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.

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

more plugs

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

thanks man, keep up the good work

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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 .....).

Thanks for the info. Rick.

I'll be watching this one!!

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

sure you can

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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!!

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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??

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

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

RE: turbine powered Batwing build
 

Also -should have some new Batwing shots soon
