It's a shame that the replica project ended in tragedy. This looks interesting...
Edit - after watching the videos, I think I'll pass - especially for the price. It's the sounds for me. It sounds more like one big radial than a pair of straight 8's.* (The replica was powered by a pair of Hayabusa bike engines.) On shutdown, the blades come to a screeching halt even before the combustion sounds end, and then there's still sounds of the engines slowing. If the sounds were more convincing, it would be a nice little Grand Canyon runner.
Do you have any cockpit pictures? How fast does it fly?
How is the sound pack?100P4 by TiAr, auf FlickrRedwing did a wonderful job. All systems work with the historical background. A 51-page manual is included and describes the functions and gives a nice impression also the special features of the aircraft.About the speed. I flew out and back on a 100 km course (200 km with turning maneuver) and came up with an average speed of 666 km/h at 12,000 ft (414 mph). I used the normal mode. It should be noted, however, that we will still be getting a cell competition plane. The current version is e.g. too heavy (has lights, radios, battery etc.).Thomas
