Default RE: hotspot with a p160?


the weigth wont be higher..unless if you mean estimate 200gr.

as for landings easy i can install two more airbrakes ander the fuse to slow down on landing...remember nothink stayed up there.
DGG: don´t worry on adding a extra speedbrake on the Hottie.. the residual thrust of the P-160 is not a issue. It lands as nicely as a P120 powered one. Nice Bipe footage too!



David: What´s your opinion in this particular case?

The C-Arf Rookie is much more frail and minimalist than the HotSpot and in this video it is being flown with a P-160 by Thomas Singer , wich I consider a inteligent, responsable and skilled r/c jet flier. Of course, unfortunately this plane crashed by a engine problem, but in my opinion he flew it brilliantly and safely in this public event.

So I question: Do you think than it is needed to draw a line and forbid less known but not less experienced jet pilots overpower his jets for any particular reason? And how many people would like do it in the entire world.. two dozen? In my opinion there is not need to do it.. the biggest peril we face is someone without the training or discipline needed to fly a "standard" turbine powered plane have the bad luck to hit someone or cause a big fire.
