Congrats! What set-up are you using? You mentioned a TT-91 in the first post is that what you flew with?

I would love to see what it can o with a Jett-90L

Hi Razor,

I have a TT91 with an OS 91 muffler spinning 13x8 apc at about 12800 rpm. I have no idea what the speed is but it sure is faster than my world models p-51 with a saito 72
4 stroke. I took some video but dont know where to post .Please advise me of any source willing to post it.

V12, how large is the video? I may be able to help, but better than that, RCU now hosts video, and you could probably do that even easier!!!

Get the vid up!!

Hi smchale,

can u tell me what the cg is? I was told from the guy that sold me the plane that it is 10.5 inches from leading edge but it does not sound right to me. I flew it already but was a little twitchy towards the end of the flight when the fuel was used up. Thanks in advance!

Hey JohnHV,

the video is about 99 mb. I did see that option but i didnt understand when it ask to input link to video. Im lost when it comes to this. Help you guys will like my first landing and takeoff, and a few low high speed passes between 150 feet light poles at the local racetrack parking lot. This location is always risky as there are all kinds of obstacles to overcome, especially for maiden flights. But I have maidened several of my planes at this location with out any mishaps, unlike at specified fields.
