Default RE: TBM Shock Jet

Honda: If you HAVE to have a 2-piece wing, contact Limey Bob at LDS and order one of his JetMach 60 kits. It can be built with a one- piece OR two-piece wing. Yes, you have to build it, but Bob's kits go together quickly and easily. The SJ is a rip-off of the JetMach 60, anyway. Basically the same airplane. My clipped-wing SJ is no less stable than the full-span version. I fly in a rather small (by jet standards) club field. Our runway is 300 ft. by 40 ft. asphalt. If I do my part, my clipped-wing SJ uses a bit more than half of the runway for landing. Molar Mender flies at the same field. In fact, he is also the CD that signed my waiver application, at this very field. I taught Tip22v to fly his SJ at this field as well. Every flight, the runway seemed larger to him. He had it nailed in 4 or 5 flights and Molar Mender got to sign-off on another waiver. I've said this before and I'll say it again. The SJ may be homely, but it's GREAT in bed.
