Default RE: Beefing up a BVM Bobcat


ORIGINAL: pfact

Hi guys,

I have a question for the BVM Bobcat community.

My Son has a Bobcat with a P-70 - he is flying it at wide open throttle all the time, it just isn't fast enough for him (www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xMfwBTuwho).

We plan on moving up to a P-120SE - my question is, do we need to beef up the Bobcat in any way and if so what would you do?

Phil


You might want to look at a Wren Super Sport. It's only 18 lbs, but it has a higher exhaust velocity than other turbines so any plane it's on would be significantly faster without any weight gain over the P-60.
