Title: 007 JET (Bede BD-5)
Post by: DennisZ on April 24, 2010, 11:48:48 AM

here is my BD-5 :)
built according to plans from rcgroups  (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1141686)

have not flown yet.

unfortunately, the vector of thrust is pointing bit ahead of CoG
so any attempt to get airborne from the ground makes her digging the grass :(

Looks good Denis.  :clap:
Try a couple of washers ubder the bottom of the motor mount to adjust the thrust angle :?:
