Default Definitive Prop-Jet Thread

I love prop-jets but I would like to have a place with all the info. I need about these new kits/ARF's instead of digging over here and searching over there... The MFG recommends a 25LA but with a TT Pro-46 it BARELY flies. or I had to add 6 oz. of tail weight to a 3 1/2 lb plane for balance. We wanna know the good, the bad, and the ugly!


There are quite a few new prop-jets out these days and MANY threads about this one or that one, some informative some dead-ends...

I would like to start a thread about Prop-Jets specifically where we can find pics, reviews, details and mods from real builders instead of just Manufacturers specs.


Crazy4flight built an F-20 right? He is dialed in right? Let's get the info. Crazy!

Bob27 has a protech F-15 and Jett-30 on the board yes? (I know you are busy Bob but when you get a chance-) lets get GOOD info. from our Prop-Jet Sensei's

Is it worth the price?

Is it a bunch of plastic?

How is the customer support, if any?

What is the real CG?

Real flying weight?

What kind of performance can we ACTUALLY expect?

How about PICS from people actually building or flying these prop-jets.

Here are a few to start with, do any of you own or fly these? Want to write a short review explaining your set-up? Just a short post with info. it does not matter if you used an OS-40FP and std. servos all around, or a Jett-60LX Retracts and digital servos- we want to hear from you!

We need info. from a beginners first impression of a prop-jet to the guys who strip the covering, glass it and put in BVM wheels and brakes!

Some relatively new kits/arf's:

Cermark F-16
Angel's Rifle **
Weston Magnum R
Phoenix F-20
Any other F-20?
VMAR Mig-21
VMAR F-4
VMAR F-5
VMAR A-4
Protech F-15
Protech "Alpha Jet"

Old School like:

GP patriot (40 size)
GP patriot XL

SIG Kobra
Cougar
King Kobra

Remember that F-15 from years ago?

DC F-20
CBM F-16 or F-16N
Lanier F-4 or F-86
I am sure there are more...

Heck if you have a Curare or Tipo with a YS-60RE turning a 12x11 that qualifies to!

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
