Default New Patriot on the Build Board!!

Actually... One thing I forgot to mention - Don't know how...

I'm thinking of actually fitting the tail cone with a rocket engine clamp. I figure that a 'C' size engine with a 2 to 3 second burn is all it needs to turn more heads and punch the bird to supersonic... any longer and it'll likely be acellerating too fast, over rev the engine or something...

Has anyone tried this? Is it legal? It is still controlled, and I do have 8 channels on my JR 8103 Tx and Rx to play with... Ailerons, throttle, elevator, rudder, flaps, gear, Gyro remote gain and rocket ignition. By the way, the Gyro is for the rudder/nose wheel control when on the ground... From what I have seen and heard, the Pat is a bit of a bear on the takeoff roll.

3...2...1...Afterburners!!!
