Ian,

What is the estimated speed range on your JetCat Titan powered F-18? Where is your throttle stick position most of the flight? Do you still have your F-18, cause it looks like one awesome bird.

Later,

Jason

Cato also made the switch to one turbine for weight purposes, and flies with the Simjet Nexus.
On his last flight last year, the turbine threw a blade, resulting in this amazing picture and a very
hard "landing" which destroyed part of his beautiful plane. However, Cato is not one to give up -
he rebuilt it, even with some nice new features like a working refueling pod! As you can see
from this videoclip, he finished the plane in a new scheme and confidently flew it with short
take-off and landing on the "new" maiden!

Great TO and Landing. Love the probe...need to slow the vid down on that part though.
Man you just gotta love the YA twin!

good looking bird amigo.

I'm once again motivated to pull mine down from the rafters and chip away at her some more...well maybe just one more drink.

cheers
