awesome!

gotta build one as a project :D been meaning to for a few years now

loads of info on this site http://www.junkyardjet.com/

the bloke who built that mk2 mr2 also built this aw11

in fact hes part of a website full of mad scienetists that just fit jet engines... from scratch... to well.... anything!

and this is that one that i was on about that Stu who i work with built.... and it really flies!

[dawesy]

cool. now where did i put me turbo???. ove the gokart sounds coll as it passes.

that plan looks awsome has he still got it?

[jaxx]

yeah hes still got it, and a eurofighter model for that matter, theres a video of it aswell somewhere on the net, got on my HD but cant remember where it came from, ill have to ask and ill get the link up

cant find a pic either but youll be suprised of what the internals of that engine are made up from ;)

oh and check out what this loon built

[martin_longbow]

oh and check out what this loon built

Now I'm scrolling down and can read the text and cant see the pic. I'm thinking, is that a bit harsh and then see the pic, eh, well, thats em, and before I can come up with a word I'm now thinking"right thats a Loon then"

[dawesy]

to coin a phrase.....thta rocks big

[chris202]

We need a vid of that big faffin thing in action!

Pardon my ignorance but would that thing fly ???

[jaxx]

yeah it really flys! for something of that scale you actually require a proper liscence from the Civil Aviation Authority

a bloke recently built a scale of the A380 and i have seen pics of a Valiant thats as big as your garage.... three times over!

Will you please stop posting all this porn, you know it gets me going

CLICKY I like this info on the engines: The engines are run at 120000 rpm producing 29lb of thrust from each engine.

that Victor won alot of awards apparantly

there is a competiton for scale flying aswell, meaning you are judged on how the model takes off/lands/flys etc... and how well it mimics the real aircrafts movements

sort of thing that if you didnt realise, it would look like you watching the real thing!

[jaxx]

found them vids....
