Hi Dave

I bought this kit about 5 years ago from Jesus de Acros. He arranged for it,from the designer of the kit and sent it on to me. I havn`t been on their site for a very long time and can`t even remember how I came across it. If you use your search engine,type in "FIVE JET" and you will come across it. They have got a new one,called the "SIX JET". I`ll see if I can find their web page and then I will post it here.

When I bought my one,I only purchased the fuse,canopy and tail booms. I built the wing and stabilizer. The stabilizer was just a piece of 10mm balsa sheet,with the ends rounded off a little. I used the profile of the CURARE 60 pattern plane,to build the stab and it is fully symetrical. It generated more lift in the tail section. The drawings also show a built-up version of the tail booms. I kept the rudder servos inside the wing and used 1.5mm piano wire,to connect up the rudders. This kept the tail section light. The main undercarriage is made from 6mm marine aluminium and is very close to the duranium type undercarriages,which MK used to make or still make. I had to make steel jigs,to bend the aluminium plate to shape and then I cut out the "Lightening holes".Its very tough for a home-built undercarriage.

On my new model,I will use retracts and a 120 size motor.
