Beautiful - fuel consumption and where is the fuel stored? Duration at full throttle?
Also, drag or loss in performance with turbo extended?

Awesome combination

A 10 gallon fuel cell is built into the fuselage behind all of the control systems. I have a slightly aft CG during takeoff and as I burn fuel my CG moves forward. Duration with full fuel would be 20 minutes at full power. If I get a tow and only run one turbine I can double the endurance. The extended turbines have a pretty small drag signature. I am guessing it is similar to leaving the gear down. The air noise is more noticeable then the drag during the extended cooling cycle.
