RE: Maverick opinions DF or turbine
Tumbler, with th 12 lb Simjet 1200 I was getting aorund 160 mph on a cool day. It wasn't ultra fast, but fast enough to be a great turbne trainer.
I was carrying 60 oz of fuel + a 6ox UAT. You will need to use either Bandit inlets or Jet Tech inlets to be able to fit these tanks in it. The stock DF inlet will not work!!
The person who did the set-up on my Mav also added some BVM plastic LE droops that helped a lot!! specially during final. It's almost like having training wheels.
