[730M]

Iam not picking on larry is that a one gal. paint can for the exhaust

Larry you are the man. Great work.

[zekezero12345]

Hi Larry, have been a subscriber for a while and love all forms of UL flight. Can I ask how you have learned your engineering skills? I am pretty much self taught when it comes to all things mechanical/engineering and when I see videos like yours it makes me realise how big the knowledge gap is! Thanks and keep the videos coming - love the idea of giving the flights a narrative thread - far better than just flying around. Safe landings, Zeke.

@zekezero12345 Hi Zeke, How did I learn engineering? Just like you - self taught. The "gap" is, you are 32 and I'm 62. With todays technology young people can close a 30 year knowledge gap in 30 days! But some things just take lots of "doing" time, so enjoy the journey. Thanks for your comments!

I thought your turbine ultralight plane was the coolest ultralight ever, but your turbine ultralight helicopter definitely wins... More videos please. I would love to see that monster fly. Where's that 'wish list' button?

[vondeliusc]

Nice CC-would like to see the injector setup, next time apart, and interested in the starter specs + battery specs. Stater seems to pack a wallop!

(I am assuming this is the same motor off the UL(Harrier engine starter?))

[FPVandotherprojects]

I know the feeling also, "it worked"!

Nothing like that, keep up the amazing work.

[oisiaa]

Incredible!

[rawrcore]

it lives!! it lives!!!! glad to see your making progress!

[BlueRidgeRuckus]

yes.. a new video.. cant wait for more.. keep em coming Larry..

What is the fuel burn rate?

[LarryCanFly]

@EvlMagus Fuel burn rate in this configuration, I don't know yet, but my "plank" turboprop (search: larry turboprop) with sister engine burned from 6 to 8 GPH.  A half an hour of turbine helicopter flying is plenty for me. At this point I'll be real happy flying 3 minutes!

[JorgeFloripa]

Very nice Larry, will dispel the myth that smal turbine can not be used by helicopter.

Success and look forward to seeing his first flight with this Beautiful.

That was AWESOME ! ! ! I can't wait to see this thing fly - it looks like a beautiful engine - nicely attached.

How much weight saving is it over a piston engine ? I bet it's over 50lbs.

[drgnfly004]

awesome Larry i think that is way cool, have you flown it yet or just engine tests

[TRKGL1800]

Appreciate the videos Larry. Please show more of the building and assembly process.

[stealhty1]

nice , that jet engine looks like a pressure cooker,i hope you get lot of weight saving

you "ll need it to compensate for this thirsty engine on carring extra fuel

[indianchief741]

Is this another heli that your building?

[snowydro1]

this guy is gonna end up crashing with these home built air crafts... dont get me wrong... i love your vids... but how safe you actually feel with your 1000 feet up in the air>

[FlyHighRC386]

@snowydro1 like any airplane, its as safe as you make it. He wouldnt fly it if he had any doubt and if he has he will fix it to the point he thinks its safe and then if he crashes its just one of those things like any aircraft :)

[snowydro1]

@FlyHighRC386 haha yeah good point bro... i would never fly in one of those things though... i am afraid of flying lol

[thydusk666]

Glad to see new vids from you Larry!

[r22accipiter]

Ahhhhh..., Symphony!!!!!

[1BLADESHY]

Awesome :-)

[HarryHydro]

Wow! The sound! This thing is cool!

[ph0chiz0]

When I grow up I wanna be like Larry! =D

[mrhulot101]

GO LARRY!

[THOMIEKA]

GETTING CLOSE TO FLYING WITH THE NEW ENGINE?
