Default RE: Longest Eurosport build ever....


ORIGINAL: Countryboy

Purchased one of the original Fiberclassic Eurosports from Don Kanak of Planes Plus at Superman 2002, and just now getting to the point of doing the radio equipment install. The Euro is outfitted with full gear doors, full length intake ducts (no bypass), speed brake & semi cockpit detailing. Power will be a JC P-120 blowing through a Tam bifurcated pipe & scale nozzles.
Be sure to reinforce the vertical stab structure, those early models had problems with fin flutter! I had one of these as my first turbine jet and on the 10th flight the entire vertical started flapping side to side,mwith the rudder flapping in the opposite direction! I managed to get it down safely luckily.
