00:02:11
it was early spring in 1980 when El
00:02:13
Thompson became interested in bu
00:02:15
building a prototype airplane he finally
00:02:18
decided on a bd5j micro jet acquiring
00:02:22
the plant and material from a red
00:02:24
Stevenson of Tulsa Oklahoma he went
00:02:27
right to work in his hanger located at
00:02:29
the canos airport in Kenosha Wisconsin
00:02:32
during the course of construction Al of
00:02:35
course made his own modification for
00:02:37
ease of flying and safety the aircraft
00:02:40
is mainly constructed of aluminum except
00:02:42
for the vertical stabilizer of which has
00:02:44
a built-in antenna also the wing tips
00:02:48
ailerons Rudder nose Wing fairings and
00:02:52
air intakes these are made of fiberglass
00:02:56
and now with the completion of a fully
00:02:58
IFR instrument panel and some bugs to
00:03:00
work out like weight and balance the
00:03:03
bd5j Michael jet is born with a gross
00:03:07
weight of a, lb and an empty weight of
00:03:10
only 450
00:03:19
lb the specs on a bd5j are length only
00:03:24
12T from tip to stern with a wingspan of
00:03:27
17 ft takeoff roll of 1,400 ft and
00:03:32
Landing roll 1,800 ft the rate of climb
00:03:36
2,000 ft per minute stall speed 72
00:03:40
mph top speed 350 mph and the range is
00:03:45
350 statued miles the only thing left is
00:03:50
to find a test pilot and Al quickly did
00:03:53
he made contact with veteran stunt pilot
00:03:56
John Duncan of Miami Florida president
00:03:59
at one time of micro jet air
00:04:01
shows John a unique stunt pilot with
00:04:04
several hundred hours in the BD Jet and
00:04:07
many hours in pits he also holds a CFI
00:04:11
Ai and a multi-engine Eng glider rating
00:04:14
in 70 types of aircraft at his home
00:04:17
field in Miami he teaches
00:04:19
aerobatics as far as El Thompson was
00:04:22
concerned this was the man for the job
00:04:46
fueling the jet is easy he simply walks
00:04:48
the jet to a fuel pump and fills it up
00:05:35
located on each Wing our fuel sight
00:05:38
gauges as you see here is
00:05:43
probing right
00:05:57
uh alen John Gober for a few details in
00:06:00
preparation for the test
00:06:14
flight
00:06:18
side the adjustment is
00:06:20
made when you get the in there then
00:06:22
you'll know real
00:06:25
quick and back how does this one go into
00:06:28
that I'll get
00:06:40
John Duncan was a little uncomfortable
00:06:42
with the safety harness so L while
00:06:44
adjusting them made a note to change
00:06:46
them in the future
00:07:04
walking up to the microjet is Jim Bey
00:07:06
designer to land his assistance if
00:07:09
possible
00:07:38
so you get you want to go to 1233 or you
00:07:41
want to use it on the rway
00:08:01
okay
00:08:34
Alan indicates and John agree that the
00:08:38
jet is ready to go
00:09:17
Al seems to be a little bit nervous well
00:09:20
wouldn't you that's almost the same
00:09:22
thing as having a baby
00:09:39
now let's watch as veteran John Duncan
00:09:41
puts the microjet through its
00:09:49
faces the first will be a high-speed
00:09:52
taxi down Runway
00:09:56
6 John is holding short for tra
00:10:15
John was well pleased with the taxi and
00:10:17
radio to L that he was going to go for
00:10:20
it
00:10:34
he will now turn to microjet North and
00:10:36
taxi the jet up for a Runway 14
00:10:56
departure well John is holding short of
00:10:58
Runway 6 here let's take a look at this
00:11:01
this is a beautiful bird
00:11:48
after checking the jet out John taxes
00:11:51
the aircraft into position and holds
00:12:13
applying power John moves forward
00:12:30
easing the stick back he lifts the nose
00:12:32
wheel off the
00:12:34
ground and he's
00:12:41
off he now makes a standard left turnout
00:13:07
coming around the approach end of Runway
00:13:09
14 John makes a highspeed flyby and
00:13:12
impresses everyone watching
00:13:50
he now climbs out and teams up with the
00:13:52

00:13:57
neelson a Veteran War pilot
00:14:10
as we view the micro jet from this angle
00:14:13
with its aerodynamic slip them slly
00:14:16
cutting its way through the on pushing
00:14:18
mounds of air John mentioned that the
00:14:22
jet flies very well hands off but John
00:14:25
is modest not to mention his expertise
00:14:28
in trimming and possible control he has
00:15:18
he now decides to roll a jet over the
00:15:20
top of the camera plane awing everyone

the entire country the newest one
00:21:34
blasted off on its Maiden flight today
00:21:36
in kosia it's less than 12 1/2 ft long
00:21:39
with a wingspan of only 17 ft the tiny
00:21:42
jet has full instrumentation and even a
00:21:44
built-in parachute it took Al Thompson
00:21:46
of Kenosha four years to build a unique
00:21:48
aircraft by himself in his garage and
00:21:51
today he and a group of friends watched
00:21:52
a Florida test pilot put it through the
00:21:54
paces watch it zip past here at 350 mph
00:21:57
and just a few feet off the
00:22:03
ground Builder Al Thompson was delighted
00:22:06
with today's first flight the jet had no
00:22:08
trouble and he hopes to fly it by
