This is a project that has been on the boards for almost 2 years. My dad is an old school builder and loves unique projects that he builds from scratch. Some of you may have seen the large Piaggio P180 that I have been flying which was the last project he created.
This Honda Jet is completely scratch built using only an 8-1/2 x 11 3 view blown up in a copy machine and LOTS of patience. All airfoils, incidence, and setup were pure wild a** guesses. First flights were done before paint and finishing to prove airworthiness. Plane flew great so on to the finishing stages.
Specs are:
111" span
111" length
53#
Powered by 2- Jet Central Rabbits
DX18 radio
Thank the Lord there are still builders around. Your Dad's work is outstanding. My guess is that he doesn't fly or not much but he loves to build. It is really refreshing to se that kind of craftsmanship.
