Thought you guys may like to see my latest jet model.
It was started many years ago but due to the very poor quality of the fuz moulding it has taken years to finish. It is so old that I started the build to take the original JPX 240 turbine. It was finished last week and now sports an AMT Mercury. The model is built from a Ziroli plan and to save embaresment I will not name the manufacturer of the fuz. Wings and tail are all built up and the finish is glass cloth and G4 resin. Model weighs 20 lbs which is 2 lbs less than the quoted weight for the ducted fan version shown on the plans. A home made fiberglass fuel tank holds 2.6 litres of fuel and the model is very scalelike flying around at 1/3 to 1/2 throttle. Take off last weekend on wet grass was no more than 30m and there was no wind. It flew straight with no trim problems at all.
