Apparently after the first one crashed in Aug 2004 at Barkston Heath, he built another. That too crashed - on a test flight at Cosford in May 2005 . The Large Model Association won't sanction him building another, it seems..... At 300lb and over 100 mph, 2 crashes were enough for them.

And both models were powered by 8 gas turbines!
