I used to shoot in scouts. Killed quite a few bales of hay. I think the fiberglass bows were taller than me.

Nice! I use a compound bow...Though I am way out of practice after getting sick for so long.....

I think the fiberglass arrows were taller than me.

No way!!!
haha

I was a small kid.

Not quite an Oompa Loompa on the original Willy Wonka, and average now... LOL

Congratulations, you’ve provided me with a good laugh 😂

Slightly over 5 ft 4 then?

That‘s a large arrow…

Edited first post for future people:

I thought someone was going to hang a C sized pack on a racing sloper and use a high pitch prop. Or maybe that was the way the engineering looked to be headed before it jinked.

Yes, because no one has the bud jet for a nice sloper🤣🤣

I just did! lol

Yea quite interesting.......they choose to not build it out of carbon or fiber glass but instead choose to 3d print it ? Dont know if the plane can go 500 with a 3d printed frame but hey im not the expert here so lets see !

IDK...Honestly I think it could hold up to it, but we shall see if they reach the speeds they want....I am hoping to design a 3D printable Radjet so if I end up getting a 3D printer this fall I can test to see how it hold up... (Not to mention its just cool!)

Thats nice but I personally think that the landing gear idea was pretty smart and in one part of the vid they stated that they can reach 300 mph using a turbine that produces 6 kg of thrust.........I dont know about you but I find that a bit hard to believe I think it's possible if the airplane is light (3-4 kg say) but we will just have to see. (Oh and btw they aren't the first people to try to go 500 mph with a jet turbine I believe there is one guy who has already done it but it isn't officially confirmed)
