Airborne-Models T-34 Mentor?

While I am currently building on a Skyshark Stuka (which is a fantastic build by the way) I was wanting to get something to throw my OS .40 on for fun. As my old Kavalier is looking pretty haggly. ...

RE: turbines for $800

The Tomahawk Cruise missle uses a solid rocket booster, and a turbofan engine. The rocket gets it to speed, and the turbofan is designed to "cruise" at that speed.

RE: turbines for $800

Well personnally I don't see turines getting any cheaper. When I got bitten by the turbine bug a while back thanks to DavidR I dug, and searched for a way to get a cheap turbine. Some hope of...

RE: Statement from Wren Turbines re JoeJets Turbines

Well frankly I simply do not buy anything from overseas unless it is something I cannot get with "Made in the USA" stamped on. Some foreigners might take offence to that, but I wouldn't take offence...

RE: Kyosho F-86

I think the thrust tube is a necessity. Really all in all these small DF are pretty doggy in performance, but basically they will never be able to produce adequate thrust to have "real power" so you...

RE: Just researching-Where does one start?

Yeah the jet community is definitely very open and friendly. When I first started looking into a turbine I got nothing, but help from people here, and even an offer to go fly one. However Im still...

Toki .18 optimum thrust tube area?

Great F-18 Story

Awesome! I got a great visualization from that story from when I flew the Marine Corp F-18 training simulator at the NAS in New Orleans.

Toki .18 optimum thrust tube area?

Well I dunno the exact area for it, but I wouldn't go over 85%. Somewhere between 85-90% is probably about right. Tuned the Toki unit is only putting out right at 3lbs of thrust. Several designs...

Any AMA approved turbines made in USA?

Just curios as they all seem to be made outside of the USA. Not that I have anything against foreign manufacturers. Just a thought that came to mind as I was looking at different turbines.

28lbs thrust turbine for under $2,000?

Actually I just found out it has to be AMA certified to fly it at the local airport.
So I'm thinking about a Simjet Sonic 8000AES. It's just under $2000 and puts out 17lbs of thrust. That'll...

28lbs thrust turbine for under $2,000?

Not trying to say anything bad about anyone or anything. I'm not one to judge, but in the hobby buisness you don't always get what you pay for.

28lbs thrust turbine for under $2,000?

Well for someone like me who doesn't get around to fly-in's or events ever it doesn't really matter if it's AMA approved.

Hey thanks. I can't see too many as this really is a nice kit. It's taken me less than 2 hours to build all the tail feathers, and rough sand them to shape. I'm taking a smoke break before I...

28lbs thrust turbine for under $2,000?

Thanks for the info. I figure if I am eventually going to get a turbine might as well get one that will fly the bigger jets. Rather than one down in the DF power range. Still more powerfull but I...

28lbs thrust turbine for under $2,000?

Anyone done anything this stupid before???

Ok first add up the weight of all the motors, fans, controllers, cells, servo's, and receiver. Round up for safety, and the linkages wire etc.
Then get the airframe weight.
