I'm curious to see how many airframes are compatible with this size engine. IF YOU OWN a JJ1400, please post your info and pics here! Should be cool to see what everyone is doing.
NO FLAMING, Please.
Thanks guys,
Chris

I have 2 JJ1400, one on a Falcon120, and one on a RedArrows Hawk, havn't flown the Hawk yet but the Falcon flies great. Cermark f-16 would also be a good match

Hi Matty,
Can you post pics of your install in the Hawk and Falcon?

Here is a pic my Friend, Larry Lewis, and his JJ1400 powered Falcon 120. I have a JJ1400 and Falcon 120 on the way, so no pics of mine yet.

I converted a Nitromodels Keecat 65 to take a JJ-1400. It's a really good combination and flies really well.

That's cool. I thought about this one. Do you have any video? How did you mount the turbine?

Model Engines in Oz (also distribute JLT - Jet Joe engines) have released a Grumman Panther designed for DF or that size turbines.

Sorry, no video. I mounted the turbine on home made aluminium mounts, made out of bent 3mm sheet. They look similar to the supplied plastic mount, but are longer. I had to drill a 33mm hole in the firewall for the starter motor to just peak inside the fuselage to get the C of G right.

Indeed!
Another one suitable for the JJ1400. Looks like it's basically a Baby boomerang copy. They call it the "Formost 150".
