This particular combo has always intrigued me cause the airplane costs $600.00 and the engine brand new is like $1500.00. Servos are a few hundred and who doesn't have spring airs all over the place to put in a small jet like this?

So essentially for half the price of a large turbine engine you could have a cool looking turbine jet. I'd like to recommend to a friend that he try this, but I have yet to hear of anyone having success with this combo.

I have video of Greg from Colorado and his at Greater TX last year. It tip stalled on take off and initially I thought that the airplane was moving too slow at rotation, but I've watched the video a few times and I think it was moving along just fine and should have climbed out. So must have been a wing loading issue?

Greg if you're reading this, is there anything in hind sight that you might have done differently? Not that it had to do with the failure, but I think we both agreed the nose wheel steering could have been more positive and maybe something about the CG?
