Do you have any video of it flying? would be good to see, I don't know of many other 1800 powered machines on video.

Cheers,
Smithy.

Excellent, nice job on the 29 too, how does she fly?? I ask because I have very little experience at flying, am looking into getting an easy to fly "turbine trainer". I suspect something like that would be way beyond my feeble flying abilities...!

Cheers,
Smithy.

My last flight, my HDT was indicating 117,000 rpms and I only got four minutes. I ended up going dead stick as I was turning from base to final. It glided better than any other jet that I own.

117k rpm, hmmm, I was under the impression that the ECU would limit the JJ1800 to 115k? I guess there would be a bit of give and take as there is with the idle, we often see them a bit "erratic" at times. I wonder if the low fuel would cause the slightly high rpms, with less in the way of restriction/suction etc...then again that's less than 2% variation, not bad really considering what it has to do!

Cheers,
Smithy.

Nice result, it has motivated me to go into the workshop, I need to repaint mine and get it up flying.

Knobby while this is not a trainer, like a Baby B, these deltas are stable, not tippy and great fun at high angles of attack.

150,000??? The JJ1800 would be in quite a few pieces before it got to that sort of rpms.... As would many other 66mm turbine engines I suspect.

For the JJ1800, they're ECU limited to 115,000rpm, unless of course you have a different ECU than the one provided with the engine!!

Cheers,
Smithy.

Status: offline 		I bought a JJ1800 starter to fit to my RAM750. I noticed that the motor is free to move inside the housing. Is there a prefered method for locking the motor in place in the housing so it doesn't move fore/aft?
