Which reminds me...

Whatever happened to the Caproni jet?

The TST-14 BonusJet is nearing completion. We ran the TJ-100 engine on
the airframe for the first time last Sunday. Everything is working
perfectly, and the tail temperatures were well below limits.

All that remains is some tidying up of the wiring, and installation of
the wing fuel bladders. I'll be in airshow mode for the next couple
of weeks, so these tasks will have to wait a bit. We're expecting the
first flight in May.

I have posted a progress page to show the development of the BonusJet
over the last year. Click on the dates to see photos and videos of
the project.
