Re: Craig\'s Dream Wheelchair
Hi,
The turbine is an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) from a lightning fighter plane.
It is capable of over 200 Lbs of thrust!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
He said he had to turn it down a bit. No kidding /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wow.gif
I was there! I spoke to him afterwards. He said he borrowed his mother in laws wheelchair whilst she was holiday!
When she got back she thought it was for her /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif
The sound it makes is almost as impressive as the speed it travels at!
Other highlights of the BMFA (British Model Flying Association) Nats (National Model Flying Championship) were the £30,000 ($53,271) model B52 Bomber with eight jet engines. I was sad to see this crash on the second day.
All held on our clubs local model flying Airfield. How lucky can you get!
Thanks
Mark
