Had a slight mishap with my SM Viperjet 2m last Saturday which finally wrote it off On downwind leg for landing, dirty and low(ish) the engine flamed out so after dragging everything back in I made a beeline for the runway only to have her drop a wing and (quite spectacularly i might add) cart wheel to a stop from about 2m off the deck.

Anyway after going through the mourning stages and leaving the field swearing I'm selling up and getting out of the hobby I came to my senses and have bought two new airframes (as you do). So after sending an email to Boomerang Jets UK last Sunday I am now a proud owner of a Boomerang Torus which will be the new home for my Merlin 140. Reasons for buying was the price, the grass take off capabilities and the flying characteristics which I miss since selling my boomerang intro last year and of course spares support. Not that I'll need anyway because my flying is impeccable *cough*.

Specs are going to be as follows:

Jets Munt Merlin 140

4 x Hitec 7955TG on flaps & ailerons.
2 x Futaba S9551 on elevators
2 x Spektrum A6030 on rudders
1 x Spektrum DS821 on nosewheel

Powerbox Competition SRS with 4 x Spektrum DSMX sats
2 x Hyperion 3800Mah LiFe for RX
1 x Hyperion 5000Mah G3 Lipo for turbine and retracts.

Electron electric retracts with boomerang jets deluxe oleos/wheel set.

While I'm getting everything out the packaging, here's some photos
