Three hundred paces is wrong you were so excited you got your numbers mixed up it was a hundred paces (300 feet) that day when we test flew it. In approximately half that length it was already off the ground with full flaps down. I hope that we get to go to Waco to fly it there.

I think there was an audio sync issue.

1. What influenced you to use an anhedreal horizontal stablizer?

2. Could it be possible to turn this platform into a UAV by doubling
its' size.

Status: offline 		Hello to everyone inquiring about the Jacknife. Let me start here. The Jacknife is currently offered as completely molded aircraft, except for the wing. The wing is foam cored, balsa sheeted, glassed like what were all use to. It works, it's easy to repair any minor dings if needed, and cheaper to replace for the consumer if the event of something unfortunate. I will be offering the Jacknife for now as a TRUE RTF custom built jet. It will be completely built , with JR-8611's on the flight controls, all JR high end servos for the other functions. No micros in this jet anywhere. It will be on it's gear, hinged, horned, and hooked up. The fuel cells are installed and plumbed with lines run forward to pump location. Air system, gear doors, etc will all be installed. The radio and accessory tray, with air gauges (2) 1 for gear, one for brakes-separate systems. I currently have AMT and JET-cat bypass/tailpipe which buyer will have a choice of. Currently with the cure time in between lay up and vac-bag stages, It takes me 3 days to do the whole tail feather section, and 2-3 days for a fuse and hatch. Clear canopy is and included. All the gear is mounted low enough in the hatch area to allow for a full cockpit and "blue box" type pilot figure...not included. $7500.00 ARF built, on it's gear, hinged, base white paint-less servo pack, $8500.00 base white paint RTF w/full servo pack( your choice JR or Fut digital) $10,500.00 RTF 3 color sport paint . Exotic paint available. The RTF versions will be rigged with your turbine, TX/RX. and battery system. I will install your turbine and CG it for you. Add fuel,air, charge and fly...a true RTF. Call 956-565-1584 for more info after 5:30 PM Mon-Fri

Does it come with it's own trailer? LOL. I mean, come on. Congrats man, what a beautiful jet.
I finally saw the video. Very impressive. Glad to see the project completed, your way...Nice to see that Kero-smile on your face again.

You'll be seeing a Jacknife out on the West Coast real soon...in Exotic colors. As for the guy in BFE, have the "nads" to put your name on your post where the jet world can put a face to your comments. I have been building jets for a living full time for 10 years, and been in Rc for 30 years. During these ten years, I have moved around South Texas looking for the best spot to operate and keep my family happy. I have tried other lines of work, never stopping the jet building, only slowing down on the build times. The customers I had during these times may have been dissappointed with the time frame...BUT never the product, except maybe for an L-39. The point is "the real jet guys" who know me, can always reach me. PERIOD! When I am ready to accept Jacknife orders, I will have a order line wireless set-up strapped to my A$$ and will be available during normal business hours for calls and questions. BFE..make sure I get your email so I can send you my number

Just checking in to let you know that the 1st production Jacknife parts are almost complete. The fuse will be done and out of the mold here shortly. I will post a pic of all the composite parts when their done. Looking good. A phone line should be in here shortly within a day or two. Thanks to everyone emailing. I really appreciate the support and excitement over the Jacknife.

Status: offline 		News release!! After numerous requests from you..the jet builders, I have decided to offer the Jacknife in a kit form. Here is what you will get.
All molded parts (the fuse, hatch, tail feathers, elevators, and rudder (pre-balanced), a fuel tank system, bypass) and a tailpipe. I will include a hardware package for all the heavy duty linkage hook-ups (elevator, rudder, aileron, flaps)... these are carbon fiber shafts with titanium ends. Tanks are pre-built and pressure checked w/BVM hardware. The formers are installed in the fuse for you. The canopy hatch is done for you. A clear canopy is included. You will have minor cosmetics to do on the pre-primed parts. A pre-sheeted foam cored wing is included. Flap pockets (split flaps) are done for you, and molded flaps are included. The ailerons are also cut out and capped for you. The instruction manual will guide you through this VERY easy assembly process with a few photos to help along the way. No gyros needed. If you have built ANY other jets before, you will enjoy this "walk through the park" process. This jet was designed for Robart 635 retracts. They may be purchased directly from Robart or if you have JMP Firebird gear, use them...as this jet was designed to accept them with ease also. Kit price as listed is $3800.00 and does not include shipping. A deposit is required to reserve a Jacknife and balance is due prior to shipment. Bypass for AMT, or Jetcat available. The jet is an all epoxy lay-up, with contest grade balsa or ply used throughout. The guide for this design throughout the tooling and design phase was "it has to WITHSTAND the AMT Olympus" I invite you to call with more questions or to place your order 956-565-9347 God bless!
