Hi guys,

Now that I have re-started the turbine flying in the past year, I decided to went more on it for 2012...

And so Yesterday I did it and handed over to my new little cosmetically revised XL SportJet Raptor in its element.

What can I say is just to move again this beauty Jet is gorgeous. Everything worked as it should.

After a Touch and Go start it went into the trim rounds through the various stages of flight.
The best Idea in the programming was to move the ailerons up with flaps down.
They can be flown very slowly and beautiful approach with gas drag on the final at landing.

That made me a little surprised at the landing. Because I had a bit throttled too much back...
But the "Rappi" forgive me that and I wanted change the nose gear anyway too a homemade towed.

The flight's just like going on rails, Jetlike, as I like it. Now I only needs the weather ...: cool:

Some data are:

Hull length: 2.85 m (112.20 inch)
Wingspan: 2.35 m (92.52 inch)
Dry weight: 18.5 kg (40.78 pounds) + 4.0 l petrol

Turbine is a 130 Hammer inside with a Hornet XPower ECU.
As tank I use since last year only Platypus Hoser. In the Raptor are 2 x 2 liter bottles. No Bubbles, no UAT needed no air supply anymore...

For Radio I use the Graupner MX20 with 2.4 Hott.
The receiver is the 12 channel GR24 and servos are JR 8411 on Aileron-Flaps, JR 8711 for the Tail and Ruder.

Now a video and some pictures. Hope you enjoy it.
