Status: offline 		I have never been that good at getting electric models to fly how I like .. take my stock multiplex picojet for example. Sure it flew quite well, but it was neither fast nor did it have any endurance. So much so that its been gathering dust in the far recesses of my hobby room for quite some time. During a clean out - I decided that I would finally admit defeat and get rid of my electric powered models once and for good. I put it up for sale and had no takers - despite a rock bottom price. So faced with the problem of what to do with it - I had a spark of good old British inspiration .. fit a glow motor my old son!

So I attacked it with a razor saw, a bit of glue here, a bit of wood there .. one slightly modified PicoJet with a Thunder Tiger GP10 grafted onto the nose! IMHO this is exactly what the designers had in mind when it was created and before those eco friendly marketing people at Multiplex insisted that it should be spoilt and converted to electric (partly influenced by the fact that they had a warehouse full of 400 can motors that they needed to shift!).

So I present to the world the Picojet as the designers wanted - the IC powered Picojet speed machine!

Status: offline 		Cool.... There foamy electrics converted to glow realy are fun to fly.

My twinjet has a webra 36, and it has unlimited vertical performace

I started stock 2 sp 400 motors. Then tried a Kyosho EDF. Then an OS 25FP Then a MDS 25. And finaly the Webra 36. Now Im satisfied. But you do need a strong arm for throwing her, as the auw has risen a bit

Too bad I have thrown my PJ in the trash...didn`t think it could be ic`d

Status: offline 		That twinjet is way cool !!!

I was in my LHS and there was a second-hand T-Jet hanging up - so I had to buy it. I was thinking about putting a .21 mvvs into it - seems you have beat me to it!
