RE: Retrojet 75 Turbine trainer
Thanks, Boomerang1.
I get a bigger thrill out of flying a model that I've hand built than an ARF.
Bigger still by far when I've designed it too, and it flies great.
There are quite a few wooden plan-built ot kit-built sport jets now. As well as the Jetmach that viggkri has built there is the large version and low wing version, and Tony Hijhuis's model, and - well a few others I can't name offhand.
One of these days I'll get my JayTee plan drawn out properly and then there will be another.
Moulded composite contruction is very suitable for sleek curvy scale jets, but many unique scale jets have been build using sheet balsa as well. Dave Johnson's enormous 20 ft span Vulcan, or Steve Rickett's DH Comet and Gloster Whittle, and the VC10spring to mind.
