I have been working on this original turbine design for a while now and will be for a long time to come. Right now, I am stalled. I have finished an edf prototype and am waiting for the weather to allow a test flight. Once that's done, I will make appropriate modifications and start work on the turbine version.

This is an updated and modified version of my original design from the 1980's. Since I started the build thread I found the Carf "Rookie" and it is amazing how similar the plane is to my Solstice. Had it not been on the market for a while, I would have said they copied me!

Notes of a few design aspects:
Canard design allows for rear engine mounting. No need for thrust tube.
Air intake is above the wing and close to the engine to increase airflow efficiency and prevent fod ingenstion. (grass and stones)
Split rudder for airbrake has the hinge line angled back to give up elevator effect. Balanced by drooping the airlerons.

Thanks Trev for pointing this out to me!

Im Scratch building something very few have done before. Im building a gas turbine water plane. I will also be producing an Electric version that will have a 3 bladed prop and run on 10-12S. I will be kitting this model out.

Where do you hang the turbine on that prize?

Well next step is to get going on a glass job that wont happen over night so should be a while before Iam ready for paint

PS: I've decided to re-enter the work force (Because Deborah says-so) This way I can afford my hobby - Ever hear of the Commissionaires? After 35 years of service like that pink energizer bunny I just keep going and going serving my country

Hmmmm....since my Mamba is pretty much done, I hope my Turbo Bushmaster gets here before the deadline so I can get in on this!

Corey,

Rules say as long as it has not flown..........
