No, I will contact you when your plane is ready to ship. Your plane is production this month. I am contacting waiting list people to place their order for April production.

I drilled a whole and rapped that bracket to the truniun and counter sunk a screw in there. I believe all new kits have this mod done

Is anyone flying a T-1 off of grass? Just wondering how it does with the standard trailing link gear...I fly off grass most of the time unless I'm at a jet meet.

I was wondering the same thing Jamie. Would be nice to see how it rolls out in the grass.

The wheel sizes seem to be a bit smaller than a Bandit. The grass where I fly is smooth, level, and pretty low ... we fly Electras from it ... so I don't think it will be a problem especially with trailing link but was just wondering what the experiences have been. JS

Never flown a rebel but I can say hands down of all the planes I have flown the T3 is the best that I have flown.

I always drooled at the rebel pro but it was a little out of my price range. The t3 just might scratch that itch. Will the t3 be at mississippi afterburner?

Not sure if Franco is going to it. It does it all though slow flight and will still haul ass! the K310 is a bit much for it. I think a K210 or K250-260 when its out will be best.

Speaking of the K-250G, any word on when/if that engine will be produced? There's also a question about that in the KingTech support forum but neither Barry or Dirk has answered, do you have any info on that or maybe get one of those two guys to give us an update?

Saw the FL jets video, that was a beautiful model. Sorry about your loss.....

Yes, no issues off of grass. I bet your field is better than ours. The wheel size is not an issue.

guess time will tell as more flights are logged this spring/summer.

Looks like it doesn't take much runway for T/O or landing. Couldn't tell, was that with full flaps and do you have any crow in it?

No crow yet. A little flap on take off. More on landing. That is with a k100 too.

Thanks for the intel, Sean! I've been on the waiting list since October ... my order goes in first of April and so I hope to get it by end of May and be flying it not so long after that.

I have 2 buddies with T1s flying at my field, one with a 120 and a 140 seen em fly and spotted for them multiple times. The 140 has a shorter rollout and a noticable stronger vertical, the 120 does well and it moves, but the 140 has a higher smile factor. It burns more fuel at WOT, but does not use as much stick when cruising, if you dont have the engine yet, Id spend the extra bux and get.the 140, you wont regret it Im a little biased on power, Im stuffing a 160 in mine right now.

That's what I was thinking!

Same weight and size as the 140. I am buying a turbine so leaning towards a 160 so I could use it on a wider variety of airframes later if needed.
