There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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
