My best mate - he of the golden fingers - has been at it again ;)

A scratch designed and built Horten H IX in tiny 1/24th scale - he likes tiny he says it's more of a challenge :p

Twin ducted fan ... 5.1 oz :-o

Must be murder to fly with no "right way up" visual cues. :-o :-o
Sooty

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.
