[DreamsCatcher101]

Holy shit i'm making me one of these!!!!!

What was the max time aloft for the engine? and how much fuel?

[sharp944]

Hi, can i ask how much thrust this engine is pushing out? Im currently planning to build my own.

[thewebmaster93]

@sharp944 it's a H80 producing 80 lbf or ~ 36 kgf of maximum sustained thrust but it can do 100 lbf for short periods. It costs 8000-10000 $ with an aditional FADEC system not present on this engine that prevents flameouts and can do auto-start/stop. It has ~ 5.5 kg with starter motor and 156 mm outer diameter + it consumes 0.8 l /min. I have a friend that manufactures them if your interested in buying one or getting the plans for it.

[Benashman]

The noise is part of the whole experience.

[egeblue007]

[Benashman]

Mcrojet Engineering. Sadly they have ceased trading

[se7en1976]

@Benashman Yeah according to the website (be it active or not) they want $32k US for one? No wonder they went out of business

[gilving]

Fine! delighted!

What sound track used on this video?

[Benashman]

Samples from many artists.

[gilving]

My friend asked about that

listing to studio, please ;)

[Cliverdude]

I Love it!

Foot launch and fly to a ridge,

hang out all day... no rope, no crew, no towplane... hang gliding free of hassle.

The BEST!

[jtappenden]

This is the BOMB! No puns please...

For me, I cannot launch from any mountains or

ridges but, with this, I can access from the air, drop in and shutdown the motor.

Only for a flat land launch and for climbing,

no rape... just airtime for flatlanders.

[dcfocs]

this is hang gliding rape :(

[Benashman]

What?

[neil9327]

I agree - this is hang gliding heaven!

[rednoseroxy]

Im with ya on that... to hell with all that noise.

[Benashman]

to put it into context, it is a display aircraft, it is not for production.

Yes it is larger than life and it is incredible fun.

'This is hang gliding rape' is the same as accusing the automobile of horse rape, get a life please!

[gollum85]

Cool!

[pgpete]

great stuff - unfortunately I read that they wont be flying the jetbugs anymore as the company that provided the support for the jet engines has gone bust.
