In article , Al G says...
"Deaf2u" wrote in message ... http://www.global-air.com/global/g05229.htm Could it be?? You'd think he'd at least fly it once. Or watch it fly. What's the story here Juan? 358 lbs. Pretty Good. Is that "ready to fly"? I.E. a Basic Operating Weight? Can anybody compete for a Guiness World Record "Lightest Jet"? What are the rules? Obviously it need not be an actual flying airplane... I guess we could build one out of Balsa and go for the record seeing how it doesn't need to fly to get the record.Heh Heh how about a Scale RC turbo jet model of an F-15 I seen one fly. Beats yawn on 2 counts ,it's smaller and it flys . Told ya yawn doesn't have the gonads to fly the thing .So much for his faith in the BEDE design .All sizzle no bacon. Chuck S RAH-14/1 ret |

Chuck S RAH-14/1 ret If he's cut 800 pounds out it, it's no longer a BEDE design... ....and its his bacon he's worrying about when it comes to sizzling! Especially when the thing augers in with him in it! You know, take off one of the wings and tail, and it looks just like one of those George Foreman frypans... No guts, no glory! LOL!!! |

How about if instead of asking Marco myself, I trust you and accept what you wrote he http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...d2bfabf?hl=en& "Marco knows it had not flown when the record application was submitted "? Now, keeping in mind that opinion is like flatulence, in that everyone has it and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks worse than their own, IMHO, it takes more than a bit of chutzpah to submit a claim for the world's smallest/lightest/shortest/whatever human piloted jet aircraft, when the aircraft in question has never flown. But to accept, such a claim, as Guiness has, is just plain stupid. And that is their problem, not yours. The way I look at it, if the plane doesn't have to fly to hold the record that guy with the jet-powered Cri-Cri could just lop off a little from each (or only one!) wing and the nose and take the record away from your BD5. Then you could do the same and take it back. The two of you could keep that up until all that is left of each of your planes is a seat duct taped onto an engine. At that point I think the Cri-Cri would win, having the smaller engine. During that process, it would never be clear exactly when either plane ceased to qualify as a human-piloted jet aircraft, so I would think that it would only be reasonable to include, as a condition for the record, a stipulation that the plane leave the ground under it's own power, while carrying a human pilot. Then we could argue over whether or not it left ground effect. -- FF |
