Ok, we have roasted the Mini 500, how about the BD5?

Dave "Hammer" Harris, an airshow pilot who used to fly a BD-5J at airshows, is a
member of one of my EAA Chapters. He likes the -5 a lot, though he says there's
a lot of things you have to correct if you start with a Bede kit. He had the
jet for the shows, and a VW-powered version for his personal bird. Used to fly
it to Chapter events. Went by his hangar once, and he had a third,
partially-completed model, too.

Don't know if he's still flying any of them. I know he had an engine fire with
his VW a number of years back.
