Igor and his friend in February sat down behind the vino and decided to build a glider easier to 115 kg (to hack Rosaviatsiyu). Putting electric motors was not cool, so they put the turbojet engines. Because they can. ')
On November 10, 2018, the first flight was made on a home-made glider weighing up to 115 kg with a turbojet drive (2x30kg JetCat P-300 Pro). Even loop Nesterov performed.
“I thought it would be cool, but I didn’t think it would be so much about ... value!We did it!Two morons - is power. " - Igor, test pilot
Under the cut - express photo report (I really want to quickly share the news, so do not scold for video from a mobile phone and other blunders).
DISCLAIMER - comments are purely mine, pilots and technicians spoke in an incomprehensible super-professional rubbish, which I did not make out.(I have already been scolded for “raped terms” and for the “aircraft” that is a glider.) Speech before flight:
Igor Volkov , the legendary personality among pilots.
Chief Designer.Character cheerful.The cap is steeper than Jane's from Firefly.
At first we thought, who brought the horse to the airfield?It turned out to be a glider.
Carefully carefully pull it out into the light.
We transport to the place of launch.
Igor Volkov blows a speedometer.Inside we see high-quality "coal".And the "corner" of Leroy :)
Many wanted to blow the speedometer.
Fiery Hearts.Two JetCat P-300 PRO
Turbines can be pushed and pushed into the “pocket”.
Safety net is not provided.From birds will have to uvykhisya.
The designer of the device laughs at those who do not have their own turbojet aircraft.
The Futaba console, they were tied with a scotch tape to the foot, then with a blue tape - to the dashboard.
We fill a flexible tank, 10 liters of kerosene, 0.5 liters of oil.
Gas station - no, not heard.
Testing the ground.Hold me three!
The harmony of the forms attracts the eye.Glider can not be ugly.
Solemn tearing of the film.The first (pilot) and the main (designer).
Well, okay, persuaded, take a parachute.
Neatly climb.
It seems to fit.
Where is the mount?From the spacesuit!
Yes, I'm already used to what my husband does ...
And why this figovinka?
I gave you a manual here, if that - read.
See this pimp?
And this is me, always wear fire extinguishers.
Solemn speech before takeoff and greetings to officials.
Some moose clung to the wing.
Overclocking
Taking off the ground.
U-turn.
Landing.
Applause!
Want to fly - please.
Training young.
The second takeoff:
And this is a puppy alabai.Hands were warming about him, because the oak was fierce.
Conclusion of the day: Every self-respecting peasant should have his own turbojet engine.
PS
Soon there will be good videos (including with a dead loop) and a detailed description of the device. Well, I, inspired by turbojets, continue to collect my jetpack.
Who wants to sign up for a training session (in Moscow) and become the first Russians (10 places in total) who fly a jetpack - write here:
