That thing idles like a Top Fuel dragster!
So rad! It's like Porco Rosso come to life!
Being Miyazaki fans, we enjoy the compliment.
great video to watch
That baby sounds like a drag car. 😆👍🏼AWESOME job Kermit and team!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Looks like a few flying wires need to be tightened up.
Cant wait to see you fly it
Awesome !!!!
Mice! It's a beautiful!!
I swear the guy in the red braces is the real Santa Claus. Nice plane :)
Beautiful...
Show!
If the thing still cant break suction . Put an air vent in the step.
What's that gauge attached to the nose?
Airspeed indicator.
Wow, that is just not a low RPM cam. It sounds like a alcohol fuel dragster! Very high lift and abrupt valve closure on the down side. Maybe ya'll should reconsider this thing especially when it come time to slow her down to land! It may be too late then. Of course you could always land deadstick...just be sure to plan for it. Of course I'am not trying to tell you how to fly Kermit...just concerned.
No cam - it's a two-stroke. (Love two-strokes!)
isnt that rad a bit overkill? have you considered getting a smaller one with a fan?
It doesn't sound very reliable. I wouldn't want Kermit to risk his life in this airplane.
