Default plane pic

Chuckauger,
That plane is my turbine powered Super Reaper. Its my first jet, and is a Mick Reeves (from England) kit and I built the 12 pound thrust MW54 turbine (also from England) from a screw together kit.

Its about the cheapest way to get into turbines, and is a nice large (72" wingspan) all wood (foam core wings) jet. Has fixed gear for simplicity/durability and will do 100mph tops. Lands very slowly too, and takes off on rough grass in <200 feet.

well time to go back to work, lunch is over!
