RE: Scratch Built Jet
Dave, that is a awesome looking project. Look forward to maybe catching some pics of it here when it is flying.
Carlos, very nice. I previously explained the motivation for choosing this type of plane, and now that I have put ~30 flight on it I can say it is a blast to fly. It flys a lot like a pattern ship... welll, a jet powered one anyway. Very neutral on the controls. The low speed aerobatic handling is better than I've seen on any other plane except thrust vectored models, i.e. very stable but can change direction quickly. Takeoff to a tight 1/2 loop going inverted down the runway the opposite way I've found quite amusing.
