The Millennium Project

[facthunter]

Impressive.

 

I have to admit that this is probably the future. Structurally looks well done.Very sophisticated. I would like some roll-over protection.. This thing needs a well developed wankel rotary installed. Tandem seating is appropriate for a fast plane with a small output engine. Hmmmmm...... Nev.

 

 

[Flyer]

Fantastic aircraft. It looks like it's going fast just sitting on the ground. Love it...

 

Now of course you'll need a hand with testing this nice aircraft, I just thought I'd let you know I was available for cross country work.

 

Yea yea, I know, tough job but somebody's gotta do it, might as well be me...;)

 

Regards

G'day Ian,

 

Fantastic looking aeroplane and great performance figures out of 100hp. Have you any idea what sort of speeds may be achievable from a fixed gear version?

 

Regards,

 

Mike.

 

 

[Ultralights]

i think i might start putting in some overtime, i have room in the garage for 3 aircraft!

 

 

[Guest ptygmit]

Amazing looking plane. As mentioned above, reminds me of a BAE Hawk.

 

 

[Admin]

ptygmit - it does look like a hawk except can't have the jet engine so had to put the good old rotax somewhere

 

Towering Cu - don't know what the figures will be with fixed gear but I do want to do some flying of it in Aussie to get true and accurate figures

 

Flyer - I think you may have to wait in line

 

neville - I'm glad you like it, proof will be when we can get to fly one ourselves

 

IanR - it is reported at 450kg MTOW as that is the limit in Italy but it was structurally designed for 750kg - we will be limited to 600kg though

 

 

[Guest palexxxx]

Ian,

 

The Millennium Master is a beautiful plane. I want one, but there's one thing I'm wondering about. How did you convince the Italians to name it after Darren?

 

 

[Guest Decca]

Easy Peter. Just add an "s" to Master & don't tell anyone!

 

Regards, Decca.

 

 

[Guest airsick]

What's the status of this project?

 

 

[Admin]

Airsick - it has been a bit quiet with the Master at the moment because in the top part of Italy where the Master is going through its testing is all covered in snow however I should receive the latest flight data next week.

 

Just to let you know the extremely high standard of the company that is producing the Master here is some pictures of their factory and things they have done:

Higher MTOW specs?

 

With the MTOW of 450 KG the pilot can have a great ride, but what he wants to take a passenger ? Obviously the top speed would be less, and the stall speed would be higher. Could it be flown at a MTOW of 540 KG, and what would the specs be like then? Jack. :):)

 

 

[skybum]

Watching Euro exchange rate. Ian, any more news on how things are going?

 

 

[skybum]

I know the dream is bust for me. Any more news from Italy?

 

 

[Deskpilot]

Just caught up with this thread again. Anyone know the latest on Darren, he seems to have abandoned us since his private life got messy (I'm not prying there). Is he still flying?

 

 

[phvdw]

test flights are possible in Italy, start of production

 

there site is updated on 17 nov; new brochure vne is now something lower

 

 

[Yenn]

Deskpilot.

 

If you mean Darren Masters, I pm'd him a while ago to see if he was still with us and his reply was that he was sitting back and watching. I see he posted something about a month back. Hopefully he is still flying as are all the others at his home strip, but news is scarce from them.

 

 

[Deskpilot]

Thanks Ian.

Keep coming back to this little baby....just wish I can win powerball...just once.

 

 

[skybum]

Checking out the German site...for the basic aircraft works out at $228,900.00AU(ouch)

 

 

[Admin]

I will have one...one day i_dunno

 

 

[Jay]

Ian

 

It has been a while - any new news on this phenomenal plane, nothing on their site?

 

 

[Deskpilot]

Jay, a 'nice' plane indeed, but why "phenomenal"?

 

That engine sound is bloody awful......to me. I do like the general design though.

 

And then there's the price!!!!!!!! WOW.

 

 

[Admin]

Not much good here in Australia at only MTOW 450kg as it currently is but as soon as Europe goes to 600kg then you WILL see them being available here starting with me

It's all about the Top speed/Cruise/VNE/stall speed suite and aerobatic capable- unmatched with a Rotax antwhere . Probably only for the well heeled, but a pinacle achievement of engineering using research level design coulped with carbon fibre technology to achieve the result

 

Reminds a bit of a Hawker Hurricane in looks

 

Jay, dream on,all it needs is one Powerball

 

 

[stanzahero]

Reminds a bit of a Hawker Hurricane in looks

I didn't realize the Hurricane had a dihedral on the tail...

 

Unless you mean a "REAL LITTLE BIT", or it was painted with roundels, your screen must be fuzzy, Jay.
