Jet Sailplane - need advice
I would like to put together a 3 - 3-1/2 meter sailplane with turbine power. Problem is, I can find practically no info on such a project. Need answers to a number of questions:
1. Which ARF sailplanes of this size lend themselves well to turbine conversion (V-tail?)? Who are the manufacturers?
2. I figure that any turbine between 6 lb. and 10 lb. thrust would be acceptable ( I've had turbine experience owned three). Would appreciate opinions on this.
3. Am looking for a good used turbine in the 6 - 10 lb. category for the project at a reasonable price (funds are limited). Any manufacturer (except Jet Joe). Feel free to contact me if you have one in good condition that you're not using.
Thanks in advance for your information and advice.
