A few of us ausmini members are about to build our flying machine ready for next month.
It will be a scale Mr Bean mini with a sideways door on the roof. (see pic)
Anyhow we need to get some votes on the website, as it all goes towards being the overall winner. If you can spare a minute vote for us, we are beans green flying machine.

“A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.” - Jeremy Clarkson

so the idea is to build the weirdest looking contraption thats "supposed" to fly over the water to the other landing.. even tho they will all sink like a rock ?

exactly
they all end up in the drink ne way, just depends how far from the wharf

cant wait!!

dammit, i voted but it does not seem to change the numbers. there must be heaps of votes in there already.

don't forget to contact me if you want some aeronautical engineering help. can't actually be there, but happy to runs some calcs for you etc. maybe even crank. PM me if you want to keep details secret.

you will get a lot of points for the design, and if you get any kind of respectable distance out of it.........

"The maximum airframe weight is 180kg – any heavier and our salvage teams might drown!" If you can get the weight under 40kg all up, you have a chance of making it fly. Under 20kg would be the ideal. And yes this is possible using materials you will find in the tip

the "sideways door on the roof" is made of what? the pic does not quite go to that detail.

cheers
michael
