What in the schzzill! That thing is a beast!

Does it have a smoke system? What servos? How many receivers? What kind of batteries?

That scheme looks Amazing. Whos the test pilot gonna be?-Not sure if id like that job, Balls of steel to get that thing dod in a hover. Would be a nightmare if the engine overheated in the prophang. Ive had a few gassers splutter during dod hucking and it meant the plane lost most of its thrust momentarily? Resulting in a tail-first Huck-down. Ive been lucky but ive seen others mangle their pride n joy with the same misfortune? Check me out Arnt I A BUNDLE OF POSITIVES??

Hmmm. How about a seat and a tx tray in front and connect it to rx with dsc cable and let Justin fly it?

This thing is awesome. When is the projected maiden date?

That motor is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! Looks alot lighter than the original powerplant as well. The reduction system and power plant seem to take up less of a footprint! I just wish those ailerons were a little bigger on that huge wing!

Actually it is close to the same weight as the HKS and it has to be for C/G reasons however the power to weight ratio of this power plant is far greater and no inverted oil system to deal with.

Here it is 8 o'clock in the morning, and there are 50 members and 48 guests viewing this thread! This has deservedly drawn a lot of attention. Big. Huge. Enormous. Massive. GIANT!!!
Aside of the obvious, I'm sure the underlying technology is an absolute engineering marvel. I hope to hear more details of the build and wait with great anticipation to see the first flight.
