I've been keeping up with Team Turbine Toucan and the man in charge, David Kervinen and they've been up to some serious fun  . You might have seen the previous thread about this little biplane, but if not it's worth a read  .
David just posted a couple of new video clips on youtube and I've got to say that my jaw just about dropped when I saw the clip of the takeoff - it looks like one of those overpowered R/C planes, and it was done with full fuel  ! Talk about thrust to weight  !
Here's the links:
Startup, taxi, and takeoff:

I think even Tim "the toolman" Taylor would be happy with this plane  ! |
