The FLS Microjet, claiming to be the worlds smallest manned jet aircraft, is a development of the BD-5 mini plane and notably the BD-5J featured in the James Bond film "Octopussy". The FLS model is sold in kit form today by BD Micro technologies. I have done my best to make this model almost exactly the same dimentions, with very similar wingspan, height, weight, fuel load, and top speed as the real FLS Microjet. I hope you enjoy flying it. It has trim feature on the elevators, and VTOL controls the landing gear. The VTOL controls are limited in both directions so you don't have to worry about overextending the gear.
