Stig,
What thrust is your Simjet and what fuel tank is that?
Thanks,
Don
Hello Don.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been away for a jetmeeting this weekend. I flew my Elan 8 flights and it flies REALLY GREAT. This thing is on rails. I'm going to move the CG a bit forward. It is my personal prefference because I like my planes a bit nose heavy for safety reasons.

Anyway.

The Simjet 2300 i rated at 25 lbs of thrust and I have a 2-litre fuel tank. I think that I will mount a Simjet 1200 rated at 18 lbs to get better fuel economy and lower weight. It really does not need all that power...... With the 2300 I never got over ½ throttle.
