I think actually BMT were the first to have solenoids under the cover around year 2000.

I loved the futura scheme in the post above and was getting excited until i was told it was 1900 euro`s extra

I think the guys at jetcat had the first electric start before the company was even formed. They demonstrated it in a mirage at Helchteren in Belgium many years ago, Ron.

I finally made it to Jetpower after sevral years of trying! had a good trip over with Geoff, Paul and Lozz . . . . it was certainly a good laugh on the way there and back! did not know where to look first! went straight into the first marquee and was faced with the jetcat stand and my attention was immediately drawn to the P90RXI and then the new 300/400RX's. Bennie's AMT Firebird was stunning! lovely paint job on that and his Kingcat. It was the first time i had seen and heard the Wren turbofan running and i was impressed with the performance.
Got a craving for a Mig 15 and i was hoping to get a look at the Global jet club Mig 15 but sadly it was not present, i did get a good look at the CARF Mig 15 and it is a good size with a lot of detail and a good candidate for a 90RXI. The CARF Mig and the L29 are the two favourites for a winter build, the L29 on the Air race stand was very nicely made and certainly a nice change to the normal subjects and i think a nice looking model. The Skymaster F-104 looked fantastic! and was flown very well as was the Aiworld Lightning which certainly had alot of power and was the first time i have seen one of these fly.
I have always thought the Futura to be ugly but the schemes i saw on the models at JP certainly changed my perception of the model as the ones on show really did look good! The Pari-Tech Viperjet was enormous! had been very well finished too. Only took a few photos, Lozz was the man for phots! trying to put them up but RCU is playing up yet again!
