I didn't really care for my cockpit I got from Skymaster either. They need to bump those up.

Yes I am Jeff, but detuned to 170s each to be compliant to LTMA1, which is up to 75lbs of thrust. Have you order your Tomcat yet?

Let me know Jeff, I might be able to help you with that, otherwise John at Skymaster is great to work with.

Cheers,

Barry, do you think two K-140s will provide unlimited vertical?

I liked the Sebart flight of his 14. I believe that had 100 jetcats in it. It looked very competent to me. 140's would give much better vertical I am sure, but I had 2 100's in the house already, so in they went.

I don't think so, since it would be under 1:1 ratio, probably right under .9, would still fly great I'm sure.
