It looks great until you factor in the propulsion implementation.  7.1 seconds of unthrottled power is just not enough to actually fly the thing.

I have seen an RC twin turbine me-262 somewhere out there on the web now that looked awesome except I think it was something like a $25,000 project.

Personally what I'd like to see is someone making an affordable turbine powered He 162.  The design is ideal for the cheapest possible turbine powered scale RC project.  If someone figured out a small enough design for it (with accompanying turbine engine) then I'd maybe get one some day.

HOLY ****


7.1 seconds isnt very much...but with the force it exerts any more and it would be outta site pretty damn quick...

wow its within hobby price ranges!

5 rocket motors for less than a tenner! (£10)

8 or so kits all of the 163 , 3 USA models, 2 UK and many German kits.

The UK one is obviously one id go for as its easier to get. Im sold!!

'i gotsa have one!!' :D

has to be RC or its too dull to fly it so scale has to be fairly big. hmmm where do i mount the 30mm cannons? :p

Here's a 162 Salamander kit using an electric ducted fanjet in its nacelle - I almost bought it but I got the 109 instead -

I certainly don't mind them being electric, just wish I had 20 battery packs

Nice.  I built an R/C rocket boosted X-20, but I was afraid to fly it.  By the time I worked up the courage, I had just bought my home and had to move.  By the time I got ready to get my r/c plane stuff going again, we had our baby.  I'm starting to think a little about dusting off my R/C stuff again, maybe I'll get the Dyna-Soar going again.

Here's what an X-20 Dyna-Soar is:
http://www.astronautix.com/craft/dynasoar.htm

I designed and built it from scratch.  Here was my test schedule:

Stage 1: Air tunnel testing (holding it out the sunroof on a car while driving at different speeds I expected to hit during the flight envelope) - Completed.

Stage 2: Free flight 1 (chucking it off my balcony while controlling it via R/C) - Completed.

Stage 3: Free flight 2 (Towing it up on the back of a .40 size trainer, releasing it, then gliding it back to ground) - Incomplete.  I built a cone to go over the engine for the first free flight, like the Shuttle during the first glide tests) - Incomplete, bought house.

Stage 3: Free Flight 3 (Built a dummy motor that weighed as much as a D motor for the second glide test, would have done another drop from a .40 size trainer.)- Incomplete.  I never had a chance to do the test drop because of buying my house.

Stage 4: Powered flight test 1 (Tow it up on a .40 size trainer.  Do a powered flight with a short burn rocket motor).

Stage 5: Powered flight test 2 (Tow it up on a .40 size trainer.  Do a powered flight with a high duration burn motor).

This would have ended phase I testing and I could keep flying it that way.  I had thoughts about a phase II that would involve working with one of my hard core HPR friends to build a Titan IIIC to use as a first stage to get it up to altitude instead of a gas trainer plane, but I didn't flesh that out too much because I had to finish Phase I first.

Hobby-Lobby Inc.

They use a lot of Graupner stuff from Germany - really well made parts and frames - most planes have videos with them
