I have noticed on some of the posts that some kits are saying 12-13LBS dry weight takes off and lands in 100 ft.
OK i flew ducted fan years ago and using a top of the line fan unit and if we were at 13 lbs we had good performance not great and that is with a 1to 1 power to weight ratio.
Now i saw one add saying a 13 lb airframe with a 12lb turbine spectacular performance.
Are they rated different than a ducted fan then?
Just wondering how can a 12 lb turbine push a 18-19 lb jet (WET) with any type of real performance.
Thanks..........................JOHN
