They are a very nice plane to fly. I would just recommened giving it lots of runway on takeoff. Ask me how I know...?!
Good flying plane, you'll have lots of fun with it!

dont slow it down to much, land a little fast. it will stick on landing.if you slow it way down they tend to flip over.
good luck.(its a grat flyer and looks coll when they are in the air)

great looking plane B17. I have one in kit form. It will be my next plane I build, just after I finish my TGA F-15.
I plan on using an OS 61FX, Robart 605 mains and 607 nose.
What equip. are you using?
Marco.
Ps. ohh yeah, advice? Double check the C.G.

actually that plane was sold at auction about 5+yrs ago when i whent on to other projets. just happen to be putting some photos to cd and sent it to prove i had one.

st .45
dave brown mech. retrachs.
and the main things i remember about it was that weird landing characteristic and how cool it looked in a fly by with thos e wing tip tanks.

hey just finished my tgaf15( on usrcjc web site under pilot proj)
with os91/dynamax
10.5lbs and flew great...boy that fan really was whinning

good luck with yours

Hey Vincent, lets be nice now. I guess you had a Turbine for your first plane? This is the Jets Forum, and the last time I looked, a Leer was a Jet.

Ya Vin, a Lear is a jet dude. Just cuz he can blow your doors off with his prop jet agaist your me262 aint no reason to dog him, but then again i think you were just kidding Have a great day

Default Lear "Jet"

Ummm, just to add my $0.02, the Lear I fly (yes, with the stir stick on the nose), does in excess of 110Mph (clocked), and is faster than some of the D/F jets in my club... looks like a jet, act like a jet, flies like a jet, and once the stick on the nose is spinning, you wouldn't know but she's a real jet...

For the record, my dual d/f Citation is on order... can't wait to get it on the table! Civillian jets sure turn a few heads at every meet I have gone to!

Hey guys,

Try pushing tin six hours a day in the current environment, it's a wonder Andy is still sane!

Andy,

You've got a tough job, keep up the good work! By the way, nice looking Kangaroo!

Gene
