Status: offline 		Hello,
I have a Sig Somethin' Xtra that was built to be a fun fly/aerobatics plane but I've become obsessed with more speed. I have a radar gun and with a few minor mods I have hit 120 mph w/an OS 50SX and Macs muffler and 11 x 6 APc prop.
I really like the Patriots I've seen at the field but I'm told they are no longer made. I've also seen Patriot ARF's mentioned in the "speed" forum. Is there such a thing?
Thanks,
Mike

....Tower Hobbies still has the new kits in stock....thet were
discontinued for a long time, and were brought back by
popular demand.

Look under Great Planes....airplane kits.....40 to .50 size.

Status: offline 		Yes sir- There "were" ARF Patriots years ago...

If you get ahold of one (Kit or arf-) strip that OS-50SX out of the SE and stick it in the Patriot! Then the fun begins-

120 with a Somethin' Extra? I didn't know those could go that fast with that fat wing- I have an Irvine-53 on mine and it flies slow... even sits still sometimes

I am glad you got bit by the speed bug cuz its' more fun with more people-

You might also look for a Direct Connection/Kangke F-20, Cermark F-20 (60 size) or a delta like a Whiplash if you want some speed-

Best of luck sir,
james

Loony I think you have posted a pic of the ultimate Revver Brother! Cause I know he aint got no wife and his girlfreind and maybe parents and siblings have asked him to tone it down a bit!

Verry Cool!

Status: offline 		No I never saw it fly I just found the pics surfing the net as for starting the engines i'm sure there is a lot of cursing, tuning, fueling.
This makes me think one brauner pulsejet is just not enough, time to start the lathe
and make two more.

Status: offline 		A friend's dad had an old unknown pulse jet we found in his garage. We were only able to get it to pop, sputter, and shoot flames for just fractions of a second at a time. Never able to actually get it running. Are they typically this difficult to deal with?
