Default RE: Any quality

Randy,
I have a FB L-39 from Global Jet Club. It's weight is 19 lbs dry ( UAT full) and powered by a Jet Cat P 100. It is indeed a rocket. Half throttle and it fly very nice, Slow handling is great. Push the throttle and it gets very small very fast. I have never put the radar gun to it but there is no doubt it will hit oru speed limit. Personally, I believe it would fly fine on a P-60. I also wanted a small jet that I could haul intact. I measured the door width of my trailer before ordering lol and it will fit with about 2 inches of clearance, so it has never been apart since I assembled it. I did change out the 60 oz tank for a 80 oz and 20 oz aux tank. Flight times are very good with plenty of reserve.[img][/img] I have not flown it much but I think it is a keeper. Photo was shot at Georgia Jets last fall. Feel free to pm me if you have questions.
