Cool plane, but I could do without the French 'impossible dream'.

Ever since I first saw those miniature hobby jet engines I've wanted someone to do exactly this. Nice.

Didn't James Bond have one of these?

Launched from a horse trailer, right?

I love how in such a small plane, you can really see what's going on. You can see him correct some kind of sideways force (wind i assume?) by pushing to the left, and see the response of the plane when he directs it.

For some reason - probably video games - i assumed those sticks would be incredibly sensitive. In retrospect it makes no sense for it to be very sensitive.

I like the setup. A lot of people would place the jets at the rear, like in a Lear Jet or A10 Warthog, or on the wings like most commerical liners. Where the jets would push the plane. Obviously this airframe was initally designed to be pulled through the air, so having everything up front probably balances thrust and makes the plane mostly react like the prop version. Definitely simplifies the engineering required for the modification.

Exhaust gas temps on one motor are a lot higher than the other. I wonder why.

Very nice. The only issue I see would be leg room. I don't think I would like constantly banging my knees on the instrument panel.

Adding video to channels (Music) - requested by ant.

So, uhm... why didnt they show the landing?

Didn't fit with the music.
