Can anyone comment on the CARF Tucano with the JetCat SPT-10 regarding flight performance?

Hi everyone. It was nice to be back at Florida Jets again. Coming from abroad I was glad that the activity was as intense as it was once again. Nice to see the vendors back. The Norwegian gang had a good time and as always met a lot of fellow jet freaks. Thanks Frank Tiano. Looking forward to next year already.

Well, yes...I can.

Can't tell from the outside by looking at it.

Take off with only 1/2 throttle.

Speed in flight about the same, because it's at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle most of the time.

Loops 800'+ with no effort.

Unlimited vertical.

Lands just like -5.

Fuel burn is the same because you are never fully on the gas (that is if you are flying scale). We did add an additional fuel tank just in case however.

Jetcat USA was closely monitoring it over the week and seemed very pleased. The average turbine RPM per flight was about 94,000RPM and I'm turning less prop RPM then when I was flying the SPT-5.

I will say it's probably not the ideal choice for everyone IMO. With almost twice the power of the -5 you can probably get into trouble with it if you do not pay attention to your flying...but that's just my opinion. With the -5, you can just take off and flog it around, keeping it pinned most of the time. You can not do it with the -10.

Beave

PS. I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Hoser ,
It will probably be a few more weeks before they get anything up i'm sure. David Hart is a photo taking machine and he is the one that does most of the shots for frank. Just give them a chance.
