Default RE: Got my Second Prop Jet

Hey Joe! Welcome to the speed forum... (Your name seems familiar so maybe you have been in here before--) Those F-20's are sweet! (From what I have read- I am a Patriot guy, you know Ford vs Chevy )

I would seal the hinge gap on the rudder and give it a chance before "locking it up" as Set mentioned above-- Flyboy Dave posted on one of the F-20 threads about the vertical hinge line causing the flutter problem compared to the Patriot or others that are at an angle 7 deg. or so...

The Sk appears to be a great valuye but I am not familiar with it- once you get used to the F-20 you might decide to explore high performance engine options like the Jett-50, YS-45, Rossi-45/53 Webra-50/55 etc. or you can bolt on 1K with the Jett Stream like Set did--- 9x8 APC maybe?

If I were you I would do a search on the F-20 and grab a cup of coffee- Make sure however, that you disregard ALL posts by "Vicman", he has an F-20 but he is a crazy coot!

Cheers!
