RE: The New F86D Dog Sabre
The flying weight of the plane dry is approx 15.5 lb with the K80, P70 size turbine. When we started the project it was designed for a P60 but after putting a K80 in one of our Tornado's I was very impressed with the reliability and power of the engine so we decided to put it in the DOG and Im glad we did because it flies incredible. We are currently making the fuel tanks and they should be approx 90 oz total capacity. The prototype had 111 oz tanks and I though it was not necessary since I flew almost 14 minutes on that with my P60. Delivery time for the airplane along with the new Tornados looks like the end of June we were trying to get them by early June but we had to delay it a little so I could make an extra 100 airplanes for Modellbau Brazil.
