Would this be cheating at a Musciano meet?

This is just too cool. Clean, no starting problems, and powerful. Brushless motor inside a Babe Bee .049 -

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

Absolutely illegal.  No doubt about it.

Dealing with hardship of genuine historic 1/2A engines is the essence of the event. 

Building a plane that a 13-year-old could assemble in a day sure isn't.

The posting was joke?     Hopefully.

Maybe just a free-wheeling Babe Bee, a fan off camera, and some electric sound effects.

The title of the post was a joke!   

But the video is real, nice way to hide an electric motor I think. You'd still have to deal with an ESC and batt., which would be a dead give-away.

Hmmm, now I wonder if its possible to do it the other way around and disguise a Baby bee as an electric motor. n~

Must be just prop noise, up close: I don't think there's a piston in there. Unless the bearings are noisy.

I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.
