AThirdWay Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm surprised those small jets could provide enough lift to keep this gentleman and his steel cojones in the air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtomsilver Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm surprised those small jets could provide enough lift to keep this gentleman and his steel cojones in the air! They didn't... dropped from a helicopter and hurtled towards goal on a fairly steep glide. edit: to reaffirm your statement and to add my back of a fag packet calculation is he'd need at least 35kg of thrust to maintain straight and level flight.

Those look like jetcat p200's so 94kg of thrust he would have, enough to lift 14.8 stone vertical, probably enough fuel in the wings for 5-10mins flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously underestimated the prowess of those modellers jets. Had a look on Jetman's website, they are jetcat p200's: Thrust 88kg Rate of climb 330m/min Duration 10minutes I want one - how ace would it be to launch from the ground (trollat - trolley assisted takeoff?) climb a mile into the sky performing all kinds of acrobatics and ending the flight on a long, high speed glide. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichB Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Suprised Ken isn't involved for some reason. Mind you, I hate to think what kind of disaster would follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichB Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 What with his parachiting and motorbiking it seems odd he has time to be here at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaspers Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Seems a bit of an extreme way to escape from that god awful newage musak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
