Hi Marc,

Looking forward to your e-mail to which I will send some additional info.

The 1/5th (96") is the most popular size, the 1/4 sacle @ 120" w.s. is a bit much for folks to get around even with the outboard wing panels being removable. (No problem with a full size pickup)

The 1/5th is designed for 17-23# turbines.

At Top Gun 98 & 99, we carried 74 oz. of fuel. I completed the 8 min. round which includes starting, taxing, T.O. thru Landing and still had nearly 20 oz. of fuel remaining. The point is that the Vampire truley flys on its wing not the tailpipe.

I think of the Vampire as a Turbine powered Cub. It is an absolulty no brainer to fly and is outsatnding as a first time jet trainer and performs beautifuly off short grass fields as it will rotate in 100-125' w/ 18# turbine @ 27# T.O. weight.

The other reason that the 1/5th is so popular is that we now offer Laser cut wood semi-kits (No sheeting, Stringers or Blocks)

I aslo now have the F/G 100 gal. wing tanks in 1/5th and 1/4.

Looking forward to your e-mail.

And thanks to all the folks that posted the kind words about my plan sets. It is appreciated.



Jchris, I hope all has worked out well for you.

Best regards.
