When Speed 400's just aren't enough !

Hi Guys,

Here's my latest toy . I call it the FFF . Fu##ing Fast Foamy ! It lives up to it's name !

The airframe is a Multiplex TwinJet meant for twin electric motors . Add one Lambert T32 Kolibri and you have maximum jet fun per pound ! The airframe weighs 2lb 15 oz wet and the engine is putting out close to 4 lbs at 242000 RPM . I have 400ml on board and that's good for about 6 minutes .

The engine is manually started with an air blower but a full autostart version is available . I don't see the need because it starts quite easily and runs really well .

During a rare break in the weather we got in a couple of test flights yesterday . Definitely a keeper !

Marc
