Comments:
This particular BD-5 MicroJet was recently listed by The Guinness Book of Records as the world's smallest jet plane, beating the previous record-holder by 80 lbs. New finished and flying BD-5's are going for $240,000. The U.S. Military actually has several in use, for operations you never hear about, so James Bond was ahead of his time. Want to see one in action? Rent or buy a copy of the James Bond film "Octopussy" , where Bond used it to foil the bad guys once again. View the movie trailer here.

Recently completed, and certified by a licensed A&P as airworthy. MIA FSDO has accepted the Maintenance Program. Final Experimental/Exhibition (Category IV) airworthiness certification is pending. Includes custom trailer and spares, extra NOS canopy, lots of kit hardware, tires, tubes, custom tools, full engineering drawings and plans for both the airframe and engine. Empty weight is 358 lbs, lightest BD-5J ever built.

In some countries this airplane CANNOT be registered for flight (most notably the UK). If in doubt, ask your local CAA first. Liability Release signed by purchaser AND spouse is mandatory, no sign, no sale. Originally built in Australia, bought as project and brought back to the US, then finished here. Call me to discuss this plane. The owner will deliver anywhere in the world where it is legal to do so, with the exception of France or the U.K. WILL CONSIDER TRADES, as I am interested in a two-seat certified motorglider."
