Default Best plane for the Kingtech K45G

So I want to get a new plane for my K45G and I was just wondering what would be a great plane to get for it (Scale or Sport).


Thanks

Hi Cameron,

The Sebart Mini Avanti and the K45 are an excellent combo.
Unlimited vertical thrust and goes on rails

Only downside the Sebart stock legs, they are an nightmare and from grass i would almost say an NoGo. They are simply to weak for the weight.
Upgrade to Tam struts and you got an absolute briljant every day jet.

Cheers,

Ed

Cameron,

This is an excellent (alas, the same strut issues as the Mini Avanti) choice too:

I ordered mine directly from them and Andy was extremely helpful.

Cheers,

I'm in the process of finishing my JTM Viper 90 for K45. So far so good and the k45 fits in easily. Only tough part is making a former for the pipe to attach to and new mounting rails as the ones provided are too wide. Other than that everything is going pretty well.

If you can get your hands on one, the Carf Spark

Very cool... but they stopped making it several years ago.


I know this is a little off topic... but can someone who owns the new K45 tell me what the diameter of the outlet nozzle is? I want to know if it will work with a Wren pipe.

That's a good idea! Didn't even think of the spark. Speaking of that, I know someone that has one NIB! Might just have to get it

Keep pushin' the Kingtech k45 guys!! Then there might be more kits around for all we Wren 44 Gold flyers

As it is, I'm having to design my own Jet Provosr for one of my 44 Golds. My Boomer Nano and Foxcomp Hawk proved to me the brilliance of this size jet, but I don't desire anything else of what's out there and I most certainly don't want to go bigger - unless it's a twin with two 44s. Most 90mm size edf conversions are too small to have any real presence in the air. They just blast around at too high speed getting to the limit of vison too fast, though I suppose they are at least affordable. The Nano's 900 squares and 12lb less juice (and its price) is/was the perfect spec for K45G/Wren44k Gold. Turbinator 44 fits that bill too.
