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. Gee, now yawn will have to put you in your place with a childish remark. Brace yourself. Geez, got me a volunteer secretary now. And a free one, too. Thanks for taking care of that for me. ![]() -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

[SET SHUN JUAN MODE = OFF] Juan, the evidence is overwhelming that you ARE a grade-school comeback generator on the web. [SET SHUN JUAN MODE = ON] As opposed to what, the master of the Lawn Dart Patrol Squadron? Remember this? The engine had about four hours running on the test stand and on the aircraft with the tail chained down. Cooling concerns kept the full power runups to a short time. We'll wait for the teardown to determine what actually cause the problem. It's a very bad idea for a fool like you to throw stones from inside a glass house. ![]() -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
