Try this
http://www.crcja.org/faq/hotspot.pdf
Is the building guide from Bob Wilcox. It will get you through the building process it from what I see. I have been using them to build mine. As far as plans I don’t believe there is any.
Good luck
Nic

Plans?

I recieved a manual with my Graupner hot spot. Did you get the book? It comes in three defferent languages. I also downloaded the Bob wilcox version.

You wont look back magic aeroplane, make sure you get the center of gravity right and you will make landings as slow as 18 to 25 mph.I have close to 100 flights on my hotspot with no problems

Wayne. How much runway do you need for landing?
Is it grass or paved?
I have about 120 yards of grass, but am not sure if it will be long enough.

Hi Iam flying the jet off about 180m of hard ground,as far as cg goes I have not measured it but with trial and error i have all my batteries down the back just in front of the turbine,and i have plenty of control at low speeds.I Started with my ecu battery near the fuel tank,and one of my reciever packs near the front retract and i was flying it with good control but at low speeds it needed attention to good pitch control so you would not run out.now with every thing down the back i have alot more control. wt 22.5 lbs with fuel. sim/tjt 7000 sonic.
