larry flies jet turboprop ultralight aircraft, GB103

gas turbine turboprop ultralight part 103 flies about 10 minutes around river valley over golf course and lands. Turbine flight #53. I attached a Flip video camera with tape and did not notice my "Hall" ASI (Air Speed Indicator) was right in front of it! Two years after posting this vid I get a "thanks" eMail from the inventor/creator/manufacture of the ASI, Larry Hall. How cool is that?

Oh man, thats absolutely awesome! How much horsepower it have compares with automobile engine? Have it enough power for ultralight aircraft, similar to Piper Cub? (900lb MTOW) You have truth, that turbine sound is better, that any music, especially starting and shutdown. Have a fun with your flying machine. Tailwinds!

@Jelen226 Hi Frank, it's 86hp but burns 8gph+.

Larry, you are such a star - what would we do without 'pioneers' like you?? I can't do this stuff any more - it's great that someone does and above all shows us all what he (or she) does. Truck on my friend and stay safe! Jus t one thing - how about trying a scram jet next?

[LarryCanFly]

@MrWiseowl1 Wow, the neighbors would love scram jets! Tip velocity is 385mph. Is that enough?

Is an ultralight helicopter? Congratulations! Maybe  attach at final a photo with this wonderful aerial ”boat!” :-)

@skycor49 , no not a helicopter, it's a "plank"... photo here: pfranc.com/Pepper/FamilyPhotos­/MyTurbin&Pepper.jpg

nice

but can't we have a look at your aircraft ?…

[coopermaster4000]

Hi larry i watch alot of you videos and im thinking about buying an ultralight and upgrading it like you have but before i do im wondering about how much did it cost you. i am wanting to try to make a homemade jet turbine but before i do you should make one and put it on your ultralight. THANKS

[Jelen226]

@LarryCanFly thanks for response, Larry, it is pretty enough power for my plane, now I have 80HP, but that consuption is not very attractive, but if it burns Jet A1, it will be good, because A1 costs 2/3 of automobile fuel.Once again thank you for the information. Have a nice flight and happy New Year! New Year will be here in 3 hours on my position :)

Did you build it yourself or is it a "brand-aircraft"?
