lol.. i sold the BD5.. didn't have the time or the funds to dedicate to that project. this one will be less than $5k, and the bd-5 was going to be $5k for just an engine and fuel system, then another $5k for avionics and instruments, not to mention hanger fee's, paint, and all the other little stuff that nickel and dimes you to death.

Well I guess you made the right choice. Beautiful Jet!
This one is probably safer too. |

its bigger than most.. thats screw driver is about 9" long. it burns 12oz/min at full power producing 28lbs of thrust. the plane will carry 200oz of useable fuel for 2 turbines.. so 100oz per turbine = 8mins of flying w/o a reserve. so about 6minutes of flight time.
