These are the first tests of our laser tube cutter. Tests were done using tape at a very low power setting. Soon we will increase the power and actually cut the steel tube.

I like landing gear suspention
Exciting technology! What is the brand/make of your laser system? Cost? Thanks!
What prop/engine combination? Thanks! (Great looking plane!)
It’s a Lycoming O-290-D2 and a Whirlwind ground adjustable prop.
Interesting. Tailwind fuselage and wing planform, but appears wing is fabric covered with duel struts. The title says "Wittman Legacy". So is this a hybrid of the original Tailwind?
It’s a combination of the Wittman Tailwind and a Buttercup.
Wheel Chocks?
Yeah, I did that ONCE! I was holding on to the 'walk me handles' just in front of the horizontal stabilizer of a homebuild. The guy propping had set the throttle incorrectly and she coughed into life at almost full throttle! It was only an A-65, but at that throttle setting about 50HP was playing Tug-O-War with me and winning! I got turned around and went under the stabilizer, bouncing my melon off the tarmac pretty good! The guy propping had managed to get around the wingtip and dove for the bottom flying wires on the right side of the stab as I emerged from underneath. The plane dragged him around the field until he couldn't hold on anymore. With his weight gone, the thing picked up speed and the circles got smaller. In that state, she became unstable, gear danced, caught a wingtip, and nosed over breaking the prop and stopping the engine. As the dust settled, I found my glasses as well as those of the starter. The flight for life helicopter's medic took a look at my head suggesting a trip to the ER. Then the plane got righted and wheeled back into the hangar. All turned out well, I had a goose egg for a few days, prop man had some new flannel and blue jean rags to wipe up oil spills with, the plane got a pretty new prop, and the magnafluxed crank indicated dead straight! Everyone got the wake-up call that you don't start a plane without it being tired down or a qualified pilot in it. These conditions are met in the video... Chocks would be a good addition, though!
It's tied to the golf cart.
Congratulations, can't wait to see it fly.
put 4 nice new plugs in it, run it 30 minutes, pull the plugs and read them, it will tell you which cylinder aint burning the fuel
hold printer paper over the exhaust, if it sucks the paper in occasionally, sticky intake valve
its got a miss at rpm, sticky intake valve, put 3 cans of techron in it (or amoco drive your engine clean high test)
We think it's running lean.
The good news is that the cockpit is also carbon fiber so it provides some protection from prop fod.
I hope that it's impossible for those props to break in flight, cuz if they did, they'd stand a fair chance of intersecting with the pilot's vital organs.
Why aren't people using electric ducted fans ?
❤❤ yes skyloveglobal
It took all of the battery power just to lift a person off the ground. It probably can't travel that far.
All this type of thing is a stunt. no one will ever be allowed to go to work in one. Plus the distance it could travel will be low. Plus, have you seen the idiots on the roads? This would certainly be a good case of Darwanism. Lastly, wot no redundancy? Good luck with that one.
*DOES NOT LOOK VERY STABLE IN A HOVER*
What I don't understand, is the kind of person who does not see the silliness of this design/concept. Spinning blades, inline with the body, spinning at tremendous speeds?
Oh goody, another human-food processor. Only those with a Deathwish would ever get on board!
They need to adopt some of the new propeller designs that are far more efficient.
Doubles up as a meat mincer
It looks like it will make a good hovercraft...
Always good having propellers spinning level with your body, a Final Destination scene waiting to happen.
I don't know the of the props could come apart from a failure due to a strike, but if there is any chance of it, why not extend the props above the pilot's head/body? Why are they always inline? Would rather each ne a twin as well just in case.
What is plan B? Autorotation is not going to work.
Can you imagine people who drive cars flying these things. Good way to sort out the survival of only the fittest.
That's about all the batteries could handle, lol.
Yep
Now that is amazing
