It went great, I also flew a Sukhoi. I actually used a real flight sim not a rc flight sim, then configured an Xbox 1 controller to it.

This is a (picture of a) picture of the team and the test pilot with the LongEZ before they tested it out. My dad is the second from the left.
Sorry for the bad quality, but my phone is pretty bad. I can go take some more pictures if anyone else is interested, we have some other pictures hanging on the wall of our house. Including the bill for 628 gallons of jet fuel.

But the longEZ is a piston engine right? Why jet fuel?This is a (picture of a) picture of the team and the test pilot with the LongEZ before they tested it out. My dad is the second from the left.

It was modified to fly with a pulse detonation jet engine. This was the first plane ever to fly with a pulse jet, and it proved it to be possible. Rutan himself actually said that it would never work.

Ive been thinking of making one of them Homebuilts. Somethin a bit like This
Ive got an electric vaccum cleaner motor to work with, about 1-2 horsepower. France got a plane to run on 0.3 horsepower so technically this is possible.
It probably won't take off, and if it works I'll mabye get pulled over by the police somehow, or the FAA will get mad at some insane teen whos flyin a plane. Though I hope I get noticed by Scaled so I can work there when I get older!

There are much better places to work than Scaled. Ask Waldo ( who in this case is a real person I know). Aeroenviroment comes to mind, not so political and more cutting edge with actual gevernment dollars to spend. Bunches of other places not out in the forsaken Mojave desert where the high point is Palmdale. Grumman northrup skunkworks was there, but I'm thinking everyone doing exotics is bailing on Cali. You'll need a respected engineering degree and be well socially connected, have one heck of a you tube following or a string of sucessful completed projects
