Default Engines

Well I just bought a new in box OS 91 VR off this board from a member for a good price I thought. And I am building my first "Jet" now its a Jet Hangar FJ-3 Fury or the Navy version of the F86 Sabre. I bought a new OS 46VX and Turbax for it and just ordered two Violett remote Needle valves for both engines. I have been flying for 16 years but this will be my first ducted fan and I am installing scale landing gear struts that work and I also will have flaps and speed brakes in my Fury. Now that we can get smaller and higher torque micro servos these functions dont weigh as much. I too was worried about the OS 91 VR not being available but I was able to get my first one last week in only hours of me putting a wanted add on the jet board here. When I see a second one for sale I will most likely buy it as well. I am about 1/3 of the way done with my Fury and then I am buying a JHH Phantom with the scale landing gear struts. Since I live fairly close to Jet Hangar I have known Larry for about 12 years so I have him to help me if I get stuck(like building the speed brakes) I also started a turbine fund this month. Every month I am putting away some money for my first turbine. So by the time I have both my ducted fans flying for about two years then I should be ready to take my test for a waiver and buy my new Turbine and scale aircraft for it. I dont think OS will stop making the 91 there are still plenty of people that cant afford a turbine right away or dont feel they should fly one as their first jet. So I dont think you have to much to worry about, infact Larry is working on a 46 size F100 that I will buy when its ready so I will get another 46VX as well. I cant wait to get my Fury in the air,
