Guys

I have been actively considering either the Skymaster F18 / F15 as my next project to be powered by a Wren Supersport. To that end I contacted Ali Machinchy the UK Skymaster agent. The F18 is widely advertised as being suitable for 14lb turbines upwards so I felt the Supersport at 18lbs thrust would have plenty of power particularily as it is a very light turbine in manual start form and would not require a big fuel load.

Ali has advised me that this is not enough power for the F18 especially if operated from grass and I have decided to opt for the F15 in its simplest form i.e. with tailerons.

Perhaps Skymasters should amend their advertising to refelect this opinion of one of the most experienced fliers in the business or, alternatively, confirm the suitability of the 14lb turbine.
