Status: offline 		Anybody have stock gear that they'd be willing to part with. I'd like another set stock rear gear for the Nano. PM me if you have and willing to sell them.

I'm looking for the wood blocks and top cover plate for the wire legs that come with the kit.

Thx

Status: offline 		I have a spare K-80F and a budget for Boomerang Nano, or ... FALCON 120, but unfortunately not a SPRINT. Has anyone managed to convert a Nano for K-80?

I have a hope since people fit with succes P-80 http://www.boomerangjets.com/images/p80.pdf. Maybe some trimming and glassing will do the work...

Status: online 		Agree with Bill, the nano is a wren44/P60 aeroplane the perfect model for you is Falcon 120/navycat/tornado fantastic flyer, easy to land and looks fast, unquestionable best all-round jet on a budget.

Status: offline 		Thank you all for your replies!

K-80F
Diameter: 95.25mm ( 3-3/4" )
Length: 254mm ( 10" ) - including starter
Weight: 1304g ( 2 lb. 14oz. ) - including starter

P60-SE
Diameter: 83mm
Total length: 245mm
Weight: 845g including launch control

Size of P-60 that is extensively used in Nano, as we see in this thread, is similar to K-80. Wheight is different, the K-80 being almost 500gr heavier, same as P-80. CG might be an issue but I could move all batteries and UAT forward and use the fixed gear to save weight.

What mostly concerns me is K-80 mount size that seems to be much wider than the jetcat one

Can somebody provide me the dimensions A, B and C in the following picture

Xairflyer, which would you consider best as a lead in trainer for scale jets. Nano or Falcon 120?

Status: offline 		Not sure on the size of a P80 but I had a wren 54 in mine 90 mm casing and I had to take a fair bit of the engine bearers. 
Great little plane with the wren wish I had kept it.

Status: online 		You even have to mod the bearers of a Elan to make a P80 fit, way too big for a Nano.

Nano P60 is a great combo and it flys really well as do all Boomerangs, but to answer Borlex question I would go with the Falcon 120 it will give you more in regard to what you asked as it will fly fast if you want but also teach you about flying around the circuit slow.

Status: offline 		BaldEagel You are correct, thats why I had a hope, but K-80 mount seems to be veeeery wide.

Xairflyer I will study the Falcon 120 build again, my basic concern there is structure strength, but since others do it with success I 'll try too and fly it in a more conservative manner (I should do the same with a Nano/K-80 combination anyway).

Thank you all again

PS If anybody has done though please show us, just to know ...

The Falcon 120/navycat/tornados all require work to make them suitable, but easily done and loads of information on the Falcon 120 thread.

Status: offline 		If you put the bigger motor in the nano, beef up the wing mount a little with a dowel, and some tristock at the glue points.. Use Hysol.. its back in the thread here on my yellow one..

A "bigblock" size P80/120, wren120....etc will not fit.. you need a "smallblock" motor ( Wren SS/100/Mk3, P70/60..etc)..

Status: online 		I flew my "Smallblock" Wren (15Lbs) powered Nano again Wed. Since the weather was warm and not too windy, to use up the rest of my fuel. Almost 8 min and still had 1/2 a tank of fuel left. Great flying combo.
It is the one "Goose" is talking about.

The link you listed is for the intro and it's larger than the Nano closer to the Sprint in size, There no way you will get a P80 in a Nano and I doubt you will get
K80 in one either.

I would swap them for something a little more heavy duty if it was me.
