Hmmm a BD5J with zero hours FS
Or maybe a wind tee?

I am not sure that would be possible but in a world full of fools...who knows? $120,000 for that death trap...wow! I might see a $120 to use it as a sign for a local hamburger joint called AIRWAYS.

I just want to know why he doesn't fly it, or at least watch it fly. I have
nothing against the guy, I don't know him and I'm not going to judge by who he calls a friend. It just seems that he's put in a lot of effort here, I'd want to see it fly. |

What's the story here Juan? Yawn has been trying to sell it for years. He bought it 90% completed if memory serves. His excuse then for trying to sell it was he was moving to Puerto Rico and needed the money. What his excuse is now is anyone's guess. Personally I wouldn't try to fly it either after he worked on it. Maybe he should convert it to radio control and rent it to the military as a target. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Maybe he can rent to the military as a target without converting it to R/C and fly it for them. |

I'm a little surprised even Guinness would accept, for a record, an airplane that had never flown. Besides, Zoom has flown over twice as many aircraft types as the current Guinness holder. Obviously they are not up to date. Al G |

I can understand building for the fun of it then selling, but I venture to say there are some that the builder is afraid to fly. This is assuming the aircraft passes inspection in the first place.

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 |

Hmmm a BD5J with zero hours FS
Warning!: From what Juan has written on this newsgroup, he hasn't been
able start his engine in a Year and a half. Warning!: From what Juan has written on this newsgroup, this engine doesn't have it's fuel control unit that would protect it from a turbine over temp. Warning!: From the description of this engine in Janes, this engine doesn't have a turbine disk failure system. This makes Juan's airplane lighter than all other BD-5Js and won him recognition as having the lightest non-flying, non-running BD-5J in the world to be recognized by a beer company. Warning!: If you are near this airplane while its running be very worried. If the turbine over temps and starts shedding turbine blades, there's nothing to stop them from going through fuselage structural members, flight controls, control cables, fuel tanks and anyone standing nearby. Did Juan forget to mention all this in his ad? Rich |
