NICE !! But what's up with that sticker in the background??? (I love prop noise) It's time to find a "I love the smell of Jet fuel" sticker. (lol)

Is this your first turbine?

Man you have great eyes. Hey, I have I love jet noise sticker also. LOL. Yes this is my first jet. If you look even closer, you will see in the lower right hand corner, the wings of my TBF Avenger (Navy Torpedo) that I am building to hopefully take to the 2015 Scale Nats. I will either maiden it at Fairview or in Kentucky. Not sure yet. Glad you like it. We will one day meet up in Penna. Chic

I really think you will like it. I got my waiver on one and then put 80 flights on it before I sold it to another club member who got his waiver and is still flying it. Really floats on landing so you will need flaps. I had about 50* of flaps and a little down elevator.

I agree with Tony, you need a "I love jets" sticker. I went to my local pilots supply shop and found an "I love (heart) Jet Noise" sticker.

Best wishes for successful maiden.

Many thanks to you both. Went down to Dustin's Jet Camp. Awful windy but Dustin said I flew well and will have no problem obtaining my waiver. Finishing up on the build by putting in the electronics for both the jet and radio gear. Depending on how well the wife is feeling, will depend on where I go maiden it. She is a bit under the weather. Again, thanks guys hope to have many flights on this model. Chic

Well, the JetMach 60 came through. The maiden flight was great except for the need to work out a problem mixing the flaps. Came in hot on the 5 no buddy box flights. Bent the nose gear a bit on the last flight. Flaps issue fixed. The plane fly's just wonderful. The Jet Central Rabbit was and is flawless. My Turbine Waiver paperwork is in the mail to the AMA. SMILE Thank you Dustin for your Jet Camp, thank you Nir, Eric (Pa.), and Eric at Jet Central for your instruction and support. Chic

Love the color scheme. The Mach 60 flys great and building allows for some creative modifications. Lol
mine has retractable gear and an A-7 nose.

Hey there, thank you so much. I love the A-7. Your version is off the chain (as the kids say). If FlyEagleJets gets its act together, I will get their A-7 which I am extremely desiring to have. The retracts are tooooooo cool. Chic

Sorry chic
I'm at ill super jets and just saw your post. You should be able to log on to rcja and go to my posts. Glenn Sheppard. Input up a build thread when I did the modifications. The gear are "pro links " for the boomerang nano. Rails are just aluminum angle. Pretty straight forward. PM if you have questions. Be back home Sunday.
