RE: RE: Post your Florida Jets 2004 pics & thread here
I have received a ton of e'mails about the F-5 and I cannot answer them all at this time so I will try to give a brief summary about the aircraft. I purchased the jet back in November from Don Kanak (Planes Plus) at the Florida International Jet Rally. Don currently imports the kit from Peter Libetrau. I put one very interesting flight on the F-5 at that time. I then decided to completely redo the jet. Everything was taken out and put back in an order that i'm familiar with. I then flew the "re-done" version at Florida Jets this week for the first time. I made several modifications which i would be happy to discuss with anyone who ends up with one. I still have a lot of scale detail to do but, at this time the jet is flyable. The stats are as follows:
110" long (9 feet)
Wingspan is 54" 58" with missiles
Takeoff weight is 47 pounds
Currently carrying 1 1/2 gallons of Jet A for a flight time of Approximately 12 minutes
Power is a single JetCat P160
JR-10X with all JR digitals
Tam's pipe and Nozzles
