Who Saw the Doodlebug??

[Charl]

Those nutters at Classic Fighters Omaka have scratch-built a V-1 buzzbomb!
I saw the tail-end of the TV1 broadcast, couldn't catch any detail.

As if the world doesn't have enough nutters with bombs

I hope they broadcast it before 12 noon, which is the cutoff for April Fool malarkey.

I recall they have also built a V2 to go along side, along the line the JU-87 replica all use as props for to show people the general sizes of the weapons, all made out wood.

[Charl]

Erm, it's full size, and flies!
They launched it with a whole lot of bungees off a ramp that looks like it came from Peenemunde.
Then, inside the housing where the pulsejet sits, is a cluster of little electric fans (which make it go a bit further I imagine.)

[Ian Warren]

I don't flies unless they have been mucking round with it , be funny to watch , that is something I would think off when I was a kid .

I have been working on the v1 project at Omaka for about 6 months now as I am an aero modeler and I spent a lot of time over at Omaka. It has had 9 successful flights now and it fly's very well it is launched from a ramp with the aid of a a lot of bungies it has 5 large ducted fan units powered by a bank of 10 6 cell 5000 mili amp lipos

This image has been shared else ware on the net so some may have seen it showing early assembly of the V1. I am the one holding the mold for the engine narcel up.

Dam I was hoping you would get here

A combination of things, no reply back from who was setting up the art display , lost his email but thought he would have contacted me weeks back and in anticipation pre planning on a whim , maybe another two years later .

[Charl]

Thanks for the link, Chris.
I hope you'll understand my reference to "those nutters" is meant in the nicest possible way!

What was that scale jet momentarily in shot in the hangar, looks superb.

Are you talking about something in the background of the video or the picture? If in the video approx when?

[Charl]

04:16 in the 7 Sharp clip

04:16 in the 7 Sharp clip

Not sure the clip is only 4.16 long so I guess you mean right at the very end and all I can see is ZK-RJF with its nose covered over that's a Tecnam R2002 and ZK-BER Tiger moth in the back ground, there are no jets in the clip there are no jets at Omaka

[Charl]

Arrr that'd be the 2:07 part of the 4:16 clip, then.
Let's start over: I fondly imagined this belonged to a scale jet.
Looking at it in the still, I do wonder about the strength of that post-prandial 10-year old port I was sipping.

Looking up the rego, I see I should perhaps not pursued this: Tecnam. Model: P2002-JF
I did so want it to be a another off-the-wall large-scale project.



Quite jet-like, those Tecnams, aye?
