Default Trim Change Problem

Aptar-
You seem to be buying additional parts from other manufacturers to solve your problem. You need to go directly to JMP and get the items you need. It would be money well spent.


Hey, when building a pre-designed, engineered, and manufactured model aircraft of the nature and caliber we are talking about why try to re-envent the wheel?

As I said in an earlier post, this plane was mostly built and had BVM T-33 intakes installed already. Tom's products are undoubtedly of high quality but the primary reason I have not used his by-pass and pipe is, for example, the pipe is more than double the price of other high quality pipes which are double walled with the "accumulator" at the rear of the pipe. Another example is why I did not use his fiberglass fuel tanks is that the set of three costs $600. Knowing the prices for these two items, I never even inquired as to the pricing of his intakes and bypass. Now I know first hand how expensive this end of the hobby is but that type of pricing is just over-the-top in my opinion. A guy has to draw the line somewhere. It just doesn't make sense to me to spend more for a few overpriced components than the cost of some pretty high quality complete jet kits. If I could just win the lottery!
