    How did they keep it going Pete. I'm thinking 10min flight or so on a tankful of fuel. I love seeing stuff like this

      Check out the details in Pete's link:

      The answer seems to be a rather frugal .61 sized engine and a large fuel tank good for a couple of hours flight.

              I think Len Mount did it around the same time that Colin Bliss did, but for different reasons. But in either case, the German guy beat them both by a good ten years+!
