Title: Giant scale BEDE BD-8 Post by: DominicM on May 11, 2018, 10:17:55 PM Dave Johnson is Chairman of the Large Model Association (LMA) in the UK. He doesn't just organise the shows, he participates in a big way. This is just one of the superb models he regularly flies at LMA events.
This model is powered by a DLE 222cc flat four cylinder petrol with 34 x 12 prop. All up weight is approx 40kg. The full size Bede BD-8 was an aerobatics aircraft developed in the United States in the mid-1970s. It was a low-wing, single-seat monoplane of conventional configuration, albeit very short-coupled, and of all-metal construction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnzd3e8SOhc Title: Re: Giant scale BEDE BD-8 Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 12, 2018, 10:26:52 AM Colossal!
Despite the short coupling, still seems very stable. Or maybe that's just the pilot's skill |
