I am currently building a Jet Hangar Hobbiers F9F Cougar Kit which was originally set up for a /91 glow ducted fan. I was going to install one of the new (recently tested by JHH) electric units which puts out a claimed thrust of about 10 pounds. What I would like to know is there someone out there who has built and flown this same plane who can advise me about converting it to run with a Wren 44. - same thrust range. The plane should weigh about 12 pounds when finished. I have the tail completed as well as the wings but haven't started on the fuselage yet. Because of the high price of lipo batteries, electric motor and limited number of re-charges, etc. I would like to know if I should consider the switch or am I better off startinig with a kit or ARF designed specifically for a turbine? I know I can ask JHH but would like to get some feedback from someone without any financial interest in the decision. Also, any recommendations on where to get scale landing gear for the F9F since JHH no longer has their source for this plane. Thanks for any help.
